This year, the second annual meeting of the GESELLSCHAFT FUER SEMANTIK
('Association for Semantics') will take place in Berlin. The
conference, SINN UND BEDEUTUNG 1997, aims at being a forum for the
discussion of semantic issues of various theoretical approaches. We
would like the conference to take place in an informal and inspiring
atmosphere which also allows for presenting work in progress. More
information about the GESELLSCHAFT FUER SEMANTIK is available at
http://www.ims.uni-stuttgart.de/GfS.

Abstracts are invited for thirty-minute papers plus 15 minutes
discussion on any aspect of semantic theory. Conference languages
will be German and English. Please, submit two copies of your
abstract, which should be 3/4- to 1 page long. Submissions by email
will also be accepted.

* DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS IS OCTOBER 1, 1997 *

If more submissions arrive than we have space for, abstracts will be
refereed.

The abstracts will be collected in a brochure which will be available
at the conference. We hope that we can avoid registration fees. In
order to get a survey of the number of participants, we would like to
ask you for early registration with the form below. Registered
participants will get information about the conference - e.g.,
travelling, accommodation etc. - as soon as possible.
