Symposium theme: information structure
The organisers invite papers proposing semantic/pragmatic analyses of empirical data illustrating the structuring of information in natural language, both at the sentence and the discourse level. The range of possible topics include (but is not limited to) the interpretation of topicalisation and focusing, the thetic/categorical distinction, the study of presuppositions, and the functions of discourse particles and discourse connectives.
Invited speakers:
Jonathan Ginzburg (King's College, London)
Marcus Kracht (UCLA)
Manfred Krifka (Humboldt University/ZAS, Berlin)
