Linguistic Field(s): Pragmatics; Semantics; Syntax

Call Deadline: 11-Sep-2009

Meeting Description:

Laurence Horn's comprehensive and essential work 'A Natural History of Negation'
(1989) reveals the interest on negation that has prevailed for the last 2000
years among linguists, and logicians and philosophers as well.

Negation is still an open realm of study in linguistics, if only given recent
methods of data investigation (research via corpora), or though the comparison
of various theories (for instance, formal versus functional), or the question of
the respective explanatory roles of syntax, semantics and pragmatics.

The aim of this conference is thus to bring together works pertaining to
negation, as well as anything related to opposition, contradiction and what one
could name 'contra-dicting' and refutation. Those papers will preferably bear on
as many languages as possible and will cover as many fields of linguistics as
possible.

A few guidelines are laid out below but do not intend to be exhaustive:
a) lexical morphology
b) lexical semantics
c) Intra and interpropositional syntax, macrosyntax
d) Pragmatics and discourse analysis
