Contact Person: Shane Steinert-Threlkeld

Linguistic Field(s): Cognitive Science; Philosophy of Language; Psycholinguistics; Semantics 

Call Deadline: 15-May-2018 

Meeting Description:

Quantifiers are linguistic expressions encoding representations of quantities.
Their study has been one of the great success stories in natural language
semantics. On the other hand, the study of the mental representation of
numerical and other quantitative information has become an active area of
research in cognitive science and neuroscience. This workshop provides a venue
for continued exploration of the interface between these two domains. In what
ways do cognitive theories of quantities constrain and inform the semantics of
quantifiers? Are the quantifiers realized in natural language constrained by
our cognitive representations of number? Similarly, can insights from
semantics inform the study of the psychology of number? 

Keynote Speakers

Important Dates:

Submission deadline: May 15
Notification: June 15
Workshop: August 13 – 17

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Formal semantics and pragmatics of quantifiers
- Experimental semantics of quantifiers
- Neuroscience of quantification
- Corpora research on quantifiers
- Numerical cognition
- Mass vs count quantification
- Procedural semantics
