Contact Person: Katharina Turgay

Linguistic Field(s): Pragmatics; Semantics; Syntax; Typology

Meeting Description:

Recent years have seen a growing or renewed interest in components of
secondary meaning, meaning that is not entailed, that is: not-at-issue
meaning, conventional implicature, evaluative and expressive meaning,
use-conditional meaning etc. At the same time, formal accounts of sign
language and speech-accompanying gesture have made substantial progress. Some
of these transmodal approaches focus on secondary meaning, too.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers with expertise in
the realm of secondary meaning in natural language with researchers
specializing in sign language and gesture research with a (partial) emphasis
on secondary meaning.

The workshop will be part of the 12th International Tbilisi Symposium on
Language, Logic and Computation, which will be held on 18-22 September 2017 at
Lagodekhi, Georgia.  (http://events.illc.uva.nl/Tbilisi/Tbilisi2017/).

The exact workshop dates will be announced soon; but we expect the workshop to
take place on the first two days of the symposium.

Given sufficient funding, there may be financial support for some accepted
speakers available.
