One of the main strengths of this event is that research presented at it, typically involves primary fieldwork or experimentation as well as high-level theoretical analysis. The study of non-Indoeuropean languages in recent years has led to a rethinking of assumptions in formal semantics and the analysis of phenomena not studied before from a formal point of view. SULA has been one of the catalysts for the rapid expansion of cross-linguistic formal semantics within linguistics. The invited speakers at SULA 6 are: Suzi Lima (University of Massachusetts, Amherst) Sarah Murray (Cornell University) Tyler Peterson (Universiteit Leiden) Christian Rathmann (Universitaet Hamburg) Francisco Santiago (The Ulwa Language Project, Karawala, Nicaragua) Philippe Schlenker (Institut Jean-Nicod) SULA 6 is organized by Martina Faller and Andrew Koontz-Garboden at the Department of Linguistics and English Language at The University of Manchester.
