1. Peter Lasersohn, Online Semantics Archive
2. Jaroslav Peregrin, Is Meaning Dynamic?

We would like to announce the general availability of

 http://semanticsarchive.net

a web site for exchanging papers on natural language semantics and related 
topics.

Inspired by the Rutgers Optimality Archive 
(http://ruccs.rutgers.edu/roa.html), initial development was funded by the 
University of California, San Diego.

Semanticsarchive.net welcomes papers by semanticists from all theoretical 
perspectives, and at all levels, from senior researchers to graduate 
students. The archive currently contains more than 60 papers by more than 
30 different authors, as well as links to semantics resources on the web.

The archive interface emphasizes simplicity in order to make searching, 
browsing, uploading, and downloading as easy as possible. Papers are 
accepted in a wide variety of file formats.

Our hope is that semanticists will find http://semanticsarchive.net a 
useful tool both for making their own papers available in a convenient 
location, as well as for locating and obtaining papers by others.
