Linguistic Field(s): Philosophy of Language; Syntax 

Meeting Description: 

In many respects, what is expressed by means of the utterance of a sentence depends on the context in which the utterance takes place. Theorists have attempted to explain this context-relativity in various ways. One broad approach is to build context-relativity into the formal semantics of natural language. This conference will deal with controversies that arise within this approach to countenancing context-relativity.
