PALMYR-5
Presentation
Since the inception of linguistics, the mainstream of researchers considered language as a static system. The situation has changed dramatically over the last few decades as the interests of the scientific community shifted from studying meaning to studying the processes behind the production and comprehension of utterances. This dynamic turn gave a much wider perspective on meaning in the framework of formal semantics and opened the door for new mathematical tools in the conceptual foundations of linguistics. Modal logic, computability theory, game theory and many others have become standard tools for formal semanticists.
PALMYR V will bring together young researchers interested in these dynamic perspectives on language and meaning.
Location
Palmyr-V will be held in Paris, in buildings of the Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS), 45 rue d'Ulm, 75005 Paris (map)
Day one (1st of June) will be in room INFO-1, in the Nouvel Immeuble Rataud.
