languages.

domains, experimental methodologies, fieldwork, the study of variation and
computational approaches.


Call for Papers:

We are pleased to announce that the first meeting of Sensus, a workshop on the
formal semantics and pragmatics of Romance languages, will take place at the
University of Massachusetts Amherst, on April 18-19 2020.

Our intention with this workshop is to bring together scholars in the growing
community dedicated to the study of the construction of meaning within Romance
languages. We hope this will become a regular venue for researchers with
common interests in Romance semantics and pragmatics. 

We invite presentations of original research involving a broad range of topics
and methodologies in formal semantics and pragmatics of Romance. We aim to
bring together researchers working from different perspectives including
purely theoretical research on formal semantics/pragmatics and their
interfaces with other domains, experimental methodologies, fieldwork, the
study of variation and computational approaches.

Invited Speakers:

- Luis Alonso-Ovalle (McGill University)
- Mariapaola D’Imperio (Rutgers University)
- Donka Farkas (University of California, Santa Cruz)
 
Abstract submission guidelines:
