Meeting Description:

In the context of the project ''Near-Synonymy, Semantic Equivalence and
Syntactic Variation'' funded by the Labex Empirical Foundations of
Linguistics, we invite submissions for presentations at a one-day workshop
(September 9, 2016) devoted to the theme of competition and optimization in
natural language, with a particular focus on syntactic, semantic and pragmatic
(including social) phenomena.

Invited Speakers: 
Eric McCready (Aoyama Gakuin University)
Roland Mühlenbernd (Universität Tübingen)
Henriëtte de Swart (Universiteit Utrecht)

The workshop will be held in the Laboratoire de Linguistique Formelle on the
campus of the Université Paris Diderot, in the 13th arrondissement of Paris.

The languages of the workshop are English and French.

Organizers: 
Heather Burnett (LLF-CNRS-Université Paris Diderot)
Berit Gehrke (LLF-CNRS-Université Parus Diderot)
Tatiana Nikitina (LLCAN-CNRS-INALCO)

The MOI workshop is a satellite event of the New Ideas in Semantics and
Modelling conference
(http://nism2016.sciencesconf.org/).

This work is part of the program ''Investissements d’Avenir'' overseen by the
French National Research Agency, ANR-10-LABX-0083 (Labex EFL). The
Near-synonymy, Semantic Equivalence and Syntactic Variation project forms part
of Strand 2 of the Labex EFL: Experimental Grammar in a Crosslinguistic
Perspective.


Call for Papers: 

We particularly solicit contributions combining novel quantitative studies of
syntactic, semantic, pragmatic and/or sociolinguistic variation and change
with formal modelling (for example using Optimality Theoretic/Harmonic
grammars, game theoretic tools or other formal systems).

One page abstracts (excluding references) are to be submitted to
heather.susan.burnett at gmail.com, on or before August 1, 2016. Notification of
acceptance/rejection will be given by August 9, 2016.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

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 Indiana University 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.


Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
