Meeting Description:

We are inviting graduate and postgraduate researchers to take part in
a free, one-day event at the University of Cambridge, Newnham College
on the 25th April 2024. This event is organised by members of the
Semantics, Pragmatics, and Philosophy research group of the University
of Cambridge, aims to bring together those interested in abstract
concepts across disciplinary boundaries. Participants can present
their works in two formats: as a 20-min long presentation or as a
poster. Ongoing works will be considered and encouraged.

Call for Papers:

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
questions/discussion.

Ongoing works will be considered and are explicitly encouraged.

Abstracts for poster presentations also accepted.

Submission information
We invite proposals for presentations consisting of 300 words plus
bibliography. Please email abstracts to both Nina Haket
(nch35 at cam.ac.uk) and Anastasiia Petrenko (ap2315 at cam.ac.uk) by 5th
February 2023. Please indicate your name, affiliation, and contact
details. Please submit abstracts in a .docx format. There is an option
for a poster session. In case this happens, please indicate in your
email whether you would prefer an oral or a poster presentation.
Notification of acceptance will be provided by the end of February.
