The spectrum of topics covered ranges from descriptive (semantic analyses of all kinds of expressions), to theoretical (logical and computational properties of semantic theories, philosophical foundations). The organizing committee of the Tenth Amsterdam Colloquium consists of Paul Dekker, Jeroen Groenendijk, Erik-Jan van der Lnden, Marjorie Pigge and Martin Stokhof. Financial support is provided by the ILLC, the Department of Philosophy, the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW), the Dutch Graduate School in Logic (OzsL), and the Foundation for Language Speech and Logic (TSL) of the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research.Mail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue
