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. 2nd: Call for Papers We invite submissions of abstracts for papers (20-minute presentation plus 10-minute discussion) on any topic in the semantics of under-represented languages of the Americas. A poster session will also be held, should there be enough interest. Submissions are limited to 1 individual and 1 joint abstract per author, or 2 joint abstracts per author. Abstracts must be at most two pages long (including data and references) on a A4 sheet with 2cm margins and typed in at least 11-point font.
