29 October 2004, Masterclass 'Cognitive Foundations of Interpretation'

Second call for participation

As part of the Colloquium 'Cognitive Foundations of Interpretation' the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences organizes a masterclass on 29 October 2004 in Amsterdam, co-sponsored by the Cognition Programme of the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research. There are lectures by Judith Aissen, Gerhard Jaeger, Barbara Partee, and Paul Smolensky about topics in the area of linguistic explanation, semantic interpretation and cognitive architecture. The masterclass is intended for PhD students in linguistics and cognitive science and has an advanced level. If you already hold a doctoral degree, your name will be placed on a waiting list, because PhD students have priority. Details about the program can be found on http://www.let.rug.nl/~gerlof/knaw/masterclass.html. Those who are interested are asked to register by sending an email to gerlof at let.rug.nl before October 1. Participation is free, but since there is a limited capacity, only registered students can attend. There will be no registration on site.

Organizing committee: Gerlof Bouma (Groningen), Petra Hendriks (Groningen), Helen de Hoop (Nijmegen), Irene Kraemer (Nijmegen), Henriette de Swart (Utrecht), Joost Zwarts (Utrecht).
