Meeting Description:

Workshop („Kurz-AG 13“) at the 42nd Annual Meeting of the DGfS (Deutsche
Gesellschaft für Sprachwissenschaft)
Location: Hamburg, Germany
Dates: March 4-6, 2020
Website: https://www.zfs.uni-hamburg.de/dgfs2020/dgfs2020.html

Organizers: Nicole Gotzner, Bob van Tiel, Anton Benz and Napoleon Katsos 
Invited speaker: Larry Horn (Yale University)

Aims and background:

The discussion on the distinction between Semantics and Pragmatics has a long
tradition. Recent developments such as the experimental turn in Pragmatics and
the implementation of computational models shed new light on the
Semantics/Pragmatics Interface. It is time to take stock and explore
theoretical implications of these new developments and empirical findings. 
Experimental research has shown substantial variability within the class of
scalar inferences (Doran et al., 2009; van Tiel et al., 2016) and this
variability has been found to interact with the degree semantics of different
scales (Gotzner et al., 2018; Leffel et al., 2019). In addition, there is a
broad class of other types of implicature such as R/I and Manner implicatures,
which interact with one another (Horn, 1972; 1989; 2017).

The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for theoretical and
experimental research on scalar diversity and the relevance of non-scalar
implicatures to our understanding of the Semantics/Pragmatics Interface. A
central aim is to gather researchers working in different theoretical
frameworks.


2nd Call for Papers:

“Diversity in pragmatic inferences: experimental data, computational models,
and the Semantics/Pragmatics Interface”

Deadline for submission: 15 August 2019
EasyChair submission: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=diverseprag20

Organizers: Nicole Gotzner, Bob van Tiel, Anton Benz and Napoleon Katsos 
Invited speaker: Larry Horn (Yale University)

Call for abstracts:

Our workshop invites submissions that discuss the Semantics/Pragmatics
Interface in light of variability in pragmatic inferences (across different
scales, types of implicature, and speaker- or population-specific
interpretation strategies, see for example Franke & Degen, 2016). We welcome
theoretical contributions, theoretically-relevant experimental contributions
and modelling proposals.

Topics of special interest include the following:

- Scalar diversity (scalar implicature with different triggers)
- Different types of embedding environments
- Interplay between Q and R/I implicatures
- Manner implicatures 
- Presuppositional implicatures
- Conventional implicatures
- (Modified) numerals

Abstracts must not exceed one page in PDF format, including examples and
references, with 1 inch margins on all sides and 12 point font size. Please
make your submission via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=diverseprag20
by 15 August 2019. 

For any questions, please contact gotzner at leibniz-zas.de or
tiel at leibniz-zas.de.
