    Meeting Description:

    1st D�sseldorf Summer Workshop ''Philosophy and Cognitive Science''

    Wilfrid Hodges: The Composition of Meaning D�sseldorf, July 29 - August 1 2003 Organization: Daniel Cohnitz & Markus Werning Sponsor: Die Gesellschaft von Freunden und F�rderern der Heinrich-Heine-Universit�t e.V.

    This year's D�sseldorf Summer Workshop ''Philosophy and Cognitive Science'' will be held by Professor Wilfrid Hodges of the School of Mathematical Sciences at the Queen Mary College, University of London.

    Hodges is an internationally renowned philosopher and mathematician who is well known for his research in the philosophy of language, logic, and mathematical algebra. His recent articles on compositionality have received wide attention. The question how to compose complex linguistic meanings as well as mental contents from primitives is pivotal for many issues not only in the philosophy of language, but also in other language related sciences.

    The seminar addresses students as well as professionals in the disciplines of philosophy, linguistics, and cognitive science. Details will be announced in due course on our website:
