Workshop. Abstract Concepts, Perception, and Language: What we think
and how we say it

Host Institution: University of Cambridge, UK

Dates: 25-Apr-2024 - 25-Apr-2024
Location: Cambridge, Cambridgeshire

Focus: We encourage a focus on the following research questions: To
what extent are categorisation approaches suffi cient for concept
analysis? How should the meaning of a concept be approached and what
should be included in it? What are the limitations of subjective
concepts in processing and representing an objective world?
Minimum Education Level: MA

Special Qualifications:
The workshop aims to be an environment in which PhD and graduate
students may present their work and get feedback from their peers, as
well as those who may not traditionally fall within their discipline's
boundaries.

Description:
We are delighted to announce the upcoming workshop: Abstract Concepts,
Perception, and Language: What we think and how we say it, taking
place at Newnham College on the 25th April 2024. This event, organised
by members of the Semantics, Pragmatics, and Philosophy (SPP) research
group of the University of Cambridge, aims to bring together those
interested in abstract concepts across disciplinary boundaries. We
therefore wish to open up the call for papers for PhD and other
graduate researchers to present their work.

Concepts are the lens through which humans experience and interact
with the world, and as such, understanding concepts has a broad
implication for understanding reality. However, the ways in which
concepts are analysed are still primarily limited to Rosch’s
categorisation approach from the 1970s. This workshop aims to
encourage and explore innovative ways, both theoretical and
experimental, of analysing and understanding the meaning of abstract
concepts. This means focusing on issues concerning abstract concepts,
such as their meaning, their processing and perception, and new
approaches to analysing and defining them.

The workshop aims to be an environment in which PhD and graduate
students may present their work and get feedback from their peers, as
well as those who may not traditionally fall within their discipline's
boundaries.  The event will also include talks from three academics:
Dr. Sean Enda Power (University of Cork), Dr. Derek Ball (St Andrews
University), and Prof. Kasia Jaszczolt (University of Cambridge).

Call for paper details
This will be a free, one-day event.
PhD/Grad presentations will be 20-min long + 10 minutes for

Ongoing works will be considered and are explicitly encouraged.
