Workshop in honor of Hans Kamp

Wednesday, October 8, 2014
Salle internationale, MSH-Lorraine, Nancy

On the occasion of the award of a Doctor Honoris Causa degree from the University of Lorraine, we organise a workshop in honor of Hans Kamp.

Hans Kamp (Johan Anthony Willem Kamp) is a Dutch philosopher, linguist and logician. His work in formal semantics, most notably his Discourse Representation Theory, is widely used both in linguistics and in natural language processing.

After studying physics, mathematics and logic in the Netherlands, Hans Kamp joined the University of California at Los Angeles, where he did his PhD under the supervision of Richard Montague, obtaining his degree in 1968.

Over the next two decades, Hans Kamp taught at various universities, including Cornell, Amsterdam, London and Austin (Texas). In 1988, he obtained a professorship in formal logic and philosophy of language at the University of Stuttgart. He held this position until 2008, when he became professor emeritus.

Since 2008, Hans Kamp is an associate researcher (Senior Research Fellow) at the Center for Cognitive Science at the University of Stuttgart. He is now a visiting professor at the University of Texas in Austin.

Hans Kamp's relations with the University of Lorraine are manyfold. Indeed, his work is known to the linguists (ATILF) as well as to the philosophers (Archives Poincaré) and the computer scientists (LORIA).

The workshop will be held in the International Room of the MSH-Lorraine. Talks will be in English.

The workshop is organised by Archives Poincaré, LORIA and ATILF, and it is supported by MSH-Lorraine, Université de Lorraine, CNRS and INRIA.
