Meeting Description:

Theoretical Linguistics at Keio is an annual event focused on various aspects
of theoretical linguistics hosted by the Institute of Cultural and Linguistic
Studies, Keio University.  Each year, the event focuses on one particular
subdiscipline of theoretical linguistics:  semantics (2013), syntax (2014) and
phonology/phonetics (2015). In 2016, it will once again be devoted to formal
semantics.

Conference Organizer:  Chris Tancredi

Connected with TaLK, we hope to open an 8 day summer school in semantics and
pragmatics aimed at beginning gra10th HiSoN summer school in historical
sociolinguisticsduate students.  The summer school plans are dependent on an
application for funding.  If funded, the scholars invited to teach at the
summer school will also be invited to give a talk at TaLK.  The funding
decision is expected in April.


2nd Call for Papers: 

Theoretical Linguistics at Keio, extension of abstract deadline.

The deadline for submission of abstracts to TaLK 2016 and the accompanying
session on The Semantics of Prosody has been extended to April 22, 2016.

We are soliciting abstracts for 35 minute talks (plus 10 minutes for
questions) on topics related to formal semantics.  For the main session, any
topic related to formal semantics is acceptable.  We are also soliciting
papers for a special session on the semantics of prosody.  Acceptable areas of
research for the special session include but are not limited to:

- focus
- topic
- givenness
- associative particles
- prosody-sensitive adverbs
- the thetic-categorical distinction

Abstracts should be a maximum of 2 pages including examples and references,
and should be submitted to: talk2016 at googlegroups.com

Abstracts will be reviewed by the invited speakers as well as by: Ikumi Imani,
Makoto Kanazawa, Kiyomi Kusumoto, Eric McCready, David Oshima, Uli Sauerland,
Junri Shimada, Yasutada Sudo, Chris Tancredi, and Wataru Uegaki

as such can receive donations through the eLinguistics Foundation, 
which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal 
Tax number is 45-4211155. These donations can be offset against

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that 
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. 
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department 
and sending us a form that the eLinguistics Foundation fills in and 
returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative 
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if 
your company operates such a program.
