Meeting Description:

FoDS is a scientific initiative bringing together scholars working on the
semantics and pragmatics of diachronic changes in natural languages from a
formal perspective.

The 5th edition of the “Formal Diachronic Semantics” meeting will take place
at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, during March 24-26, 2020.
 
This year, FoDS will be part of a larger 3-day event entitled “Language
Change: Theoretical and Empirical Perspectives” taking place in March 24-26,
2020, which will also include the closing conference of Prof. Edit Doron's ERC
project ''The Emergence of Modern Hebrew'' and an interface session between
this and FoDS, entitled: ''Explorations in Contemporary Historical
Linguistics'', whose goal is to trace the state of historical linguistics in
the 21st century more generally (see
https://languagechangeconfjlm.wordpress.com/).

Final Call for Papers:

***Deadline extension*** January, 25 2020

We invite abstract submissions for oral as well as poster presentations that
address semantic change on the basis of formal theories of meaning, including
case studies, studies of trends as well as general formal theories of meaning
change and corpus based research. We also welcome research at the interfaces
with pragmatics, syntax and other areas, as long as it makes a contribution to
the area of formal diachronic semantics. We also welcome papers that address
methodological questions in the field.

Submissions are for 20-minute talks plus 10 minutes for discussion. Abstracts
must be anonymous, in PDF format, 2 pages (A4 or letter), in a font size no
less than 12pt, and with margins of 1 inch/2.5 cm. Please submit abstracts via
