In the context of the project ''Near-Synonymy, Semantic Equivalence and Syntactic Variation'' funded by the Labex Empirical Foundations of Linguistics, we invite submissions for presentations at a one-day workshop (September 9, 2016) devoted to the theme of competition and optimization in natural language, with a particular focus on syntactic, semantic and pragmatic (including social) phenomena.
