Aims and scope: the workshop will deal with Reference understood as
speakers/hearers ability to pick out concrete or abstract entities. In
particular, we will explore the semantics of referential terms, the pragmatics
of their use, the cognitive abilities underlying this use, as well as the
implementation of these abilities. In order to arrive at a comprehensive
discussion, we will invite people working in Philosophy of Language,
Philosophy of Mind, Semantics, Pragmatics and Robotics.

comprehension of definite and indefinite noun phrases

Reference
