Description
The purpose of this workshop is to attract very high quality recent work on the
interdigitation of semantic and pragmatic theories. This topic has become a centre of
intense interest in the last year or so and a book series called Current Research in the
Semantics-Pragmatics Interface (CRiSPI) of which the three organizers of this workshop
are editors or editorial advisors, may have played some role in promoting this interest.
The workshop is interested in attracting papers on the currently fashionable topics of,
among others, presupposition, anaphora resolution, quantification, propositional attitude
attribution and modality, as well as other less recently fashionable topics such as
conditionals. Logical, linguistic, psycholinguistic and computational approaches to these
topics will be welcomed. We hope that each invited speaker will be able to have a one
hour slot, and the other speakers will have 40 minutes (including discussion). Selected
papers may be published as a CRiSPI volume provisionally titled 'Where Semantics
Meets Pragmatics: The Michigan Papers' (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/series/crispi)
