microsoft.com>Please Post: **** CALL FOR PAPERS **** The deadline for submitting papers has been changed from June 1 to September 1, 1997 Pragmatics & Cognition announces a special issue on The Concept of Reference in the Cognitive Sciences Guest Editors: Ami Kronfeld and Lawrence Roberts TOPICS: The mind's ability to think of objects in the world, the properties of language that allow it to represent such objects and the ability of human beings to indicate to each other which of these objects they wish to talk about are all parts of the central concept of Reference. Not surprisingly, the cognitive sciences, including developmental psychology, theoretical and computational linguistics, artificial intelligence and of course the philosophy of language and mind have all dealt --- under different terminology and from different perspectives - - with aspects of this concept. This special issue of Pragmatics & Cognition is intended to bring together the various cognitive disciplines in a joint discussion of the concept of reference and the act of referring. Given the focus of this journal, we would encourage authors to emphasize the interrelation between mental (cognitive) and linguistic (semiotic) activities involved in referring. Of particular interest are the following topics (although other topics related to reference will be considered as well): * Reference and joint attention. * The cognitive development of referring skills. * Attentional states in computational models of discourse. * Computational and other models of the speech act of referring * Implications of the philosophical debate about reference for the cognitive sciences. * Reference and institutional facts. We especially welcome studies that bring considerations from two or more cognitive disciplines to bear on the topic of reference. SUBMISSION: Papers should be submitted strictly following the journal's Guidelines for Authors (available from the guest editors) in three identical copies, sent to each of the following addresses: Dr. Ami Kronfeld AmiKMail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue
