Meeting Description:

Our sense of agency and ability to distinguish between intentional and
accidental actions are fundamental for social interaction. They allow
us to plan and perform joint actions and assign responsibility for our
own actions and those of others. Research on the nature of agency and
intentions has been very fruitful over the last few decades in
philosophy, psychology, and linguistics. However, interdisciplinary
discussion has rarely taken place.

We are delighted to announce the 4-th interdisciplinary workshop on
Agency and Intentions in Language (AIL4). The goal of the workshop is
to bring together scholars in linguistics, philosophy, and psychology
interested in questions related to agency and intentions, broadly
construed. Please consider submitting your work (see Call for Papers),
or attending the workshop, to advance the scholarly understanding of
ideas central to multiple academic disciplines.

AIL4 will take place online via Zoom. Links will be sent to registered
participants and announced here. The workshop sessions will all be
live and not recorded, so please make sure to save the dates to
attend.

For any question, please contact Julie Goncharov or Kyle Thompson

 December 16, 2023 – notification of acceptance.
 January 5, 2024 – submission of an extended abstract.
 January 10 – 12, 2024 – workshop: 9h – 13h New York time or 15h – 19h
Berlin time

2nd Call for Papers:

On the linguistic side, we welcome submissions examining any
grammatical phenomena sensitive to the degree of agency or
interpretation of an action as intentional versus accidental, such as
controller choice, subjunctive obviation, licensing of polarity items,
aspect choice in Slavic, case marking in ergative split languages and
‘out-of-control’ morphology. Topics of interest include, but are not
restricted to, the following: ways in which natural languages manifest
different degrees of agency or the distinction between intentional and
accidental actions (morphological marking, syntactic structures,
semantic denotations of verbs and adverbials, pragmatic and contextual
differences); connections between agency, intentions, and event
structure; relations between agency, intentions, and causation.

On the side of philosophy, we welcome submissions addressing any
aspect related to philosophy of action, philosophy of mind, the nature
of agency, intentions, and acting intentionally. Both theoretical and
empirical research are welcome as they contribute to debates on
various theories of action, free will, moral responsibility, nature of
reasons, and practical rationality.

On the side of psychology, we welcome submissions that deal with
agency, intentions, moral responsibility, and other related topics,
broadly construed. Topics of interest include, but are not restricted
to, the following: issues in developmental psychology,
psycholinguistics, clinical psychology (the sense of agency in
individuals with schizophrenia, OCD, etc.), and adults' perception of
agency and responsibility.

Abstract submission

Deadline: November 20, 2023.
