One can distinguish broadly between those who use experimental methods from those who don't. Mos tly, semanticists in psychology or neuro-science w ork experimentally, while philosophers, logicians and linguists work non-experimentally. However, th e variety of approaches and methods among both gro ups is huge. Even within the camp of theoretical s emantics there are numerous communities: formal se mantics, possible world semantics, discourse repre sentation theory, etc. The same heterogeneity is p resent in the camp of empirical researchers: psych o- and neuro-linguistics, corpus linguistics, etc. The aim of the workshop is to bring together the se different branches which are often working on v ery related topics. The workshop will not only pre sent the variety of empirical and theoretical appr oaches to semantics, but also invites explicit dis cussions of the neurobiological and psychological basis of semantics as well as its methods, and epi stemology.

Natu ral language semantics is today a wide-ranging and methodologically diverse discipline. One can dist inguish broadly between those who use experimental methods from those who don't. Mostly, semanticist s in psychology or neuro-science work experimental ly, while philosophers, logicians and linguists wo rk non-experimentally. However, the variety of app roaches and methods among both groups is huge. Eve n within the camp of theoretical semantics there a re numerous communities: formal semantics, possibl e world semantics, discourse representation theory , etc. The same heterogeneity is present in the ca mp of empirical researchers: psycho- and neuro-lin guistics, corpus linguistics, etc.
