Meeting Description:

This workshop aims to address the topic of expressivity from a formal and interdisciplinary perspective. Although expressivity has been the focus of several linguistic and philosophical discussions, it has been little studied in Latin American linguistics. This workshop aims to relate the investigations of linguists on the subject with Latin American philosophers of language who have a slightly more extensive trajectory in the investigation of the expressive dimension of natural languages.

Invited speakers:

Xavier Villalba (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain)

María José Fortran (Universidade Federal do Paraná, Brazil)

This second workshop will be held with the aim of disseminating and putting into contact research related to expressiveness, both from a linguistic and a philosophical perspective.

The main objectives of this activity are to disseminate local and regional research; support the initiation of undergraduate students into linguistic and philosophical research; create spaces for discussion about the research being carried out and promote exchanges between researchers in the region.

For this reason, the workshop opens its call for abstracts for presentations. Submitted papers may address any aspect of expressiveness, both from a linguistic and philosophical point of view. Proposals involving ongoing research will be accepted. We particularly encourage the submission of papers by postgraduate students.

Call for Papers:

Abstracts must be written in Portuguese, Spanish or English and have a maximum of 2 pages (including examples, references, tables and graphs), in A4 format, with 2.5cm margins, Arial or similar font in size 11.

Email for sending abstracts: [email protected]

The deadline for submitting abstracts is February 15th.

Notification of evaluation will be sent no later than March 15th.
