Call for paper

First call for papers

The GDR Sémantique et Modélisation (CNRS) and the University of Toulouse 3 are organizing the sixth edition of the Conference on Semantics and Modelisation (JSM’08). The conference will be held in Toulouse, on April 3-4, 2008. (The conference will be preceded by a 3 day short school in formal semantics, on March 31 - April 2nd, with courses given in French.)

The goal of the conference is to promote research on the representation of linguistic meaning and interpretation with the help of formal models. In view of the development of corpus-based research in semantics and related fields, proposals proposing the use of corpora and representational problems in semantics and pragmatics are particularly welcome.

TOPICS

We invite abstracts that address any problem in the modelling of linguistic meaning and interpretation. This includes but is not limited to the following topics:

 syntax / semantics interface,
 logical formalization,
 tense and aspect,
 lexical meaning,
 functional words (determiners, pronouns, etc.),
 information structure,
 presuppositions and implicatures,
 speech acts,
 discourse relations in text and dialogue.

SUBMISSION CONDITIONS

Abstracts must be anonymous. They should be 2 pages long including references, examples and figures. They should have a 1 inch margin on all four sides and use at least a 11 points font. Files may be in plain text, PDF, RTF or MS Word. Names and affiliations should be indicated in the body of the message. Proposals should be sent at jsm08atfree.fr no later than January 8, 2008.
