Meeting Description: 

The International Workshop ''Prominent Inferences'' takes place online via
Zoom, September 17-18 2020, in the framework of the series ''Workshops on
Referential Expressions in Discourse (RED)''. 

Prominence at the discourse level can be characterized as an organizational
principle centered in discourse representation. Units of a same type are
ranked in prominence hierarchy, which can change as the discourse unfolds. In
this workshop, we focus on the relation between prominence and inferences. We
investigate the prominence of inferences themselves, but also ask how
inferences affect the prominence of other elements in the discourse, for
example discourse referents.

The workshop aims to bring together researchers from different fields in
linguistics: psycholinguistics, syntax and semantics, typology, and diachrony.

Organisation: 
The workshop is organized by Jet Hoek (University of Cologne / Radboud
University Nijmegen) and Klaus von Heusinger (University of Cologne).
