The ERC-S tarting Grant Truth and Semantics (TRUST 803684) a t the University of Bristol, together with dr. Joh annes Korbmacher (University of Utrecht), is organ izing a two-day workshop on truthmaking, semantica l grounding, and paradoxes. The workshop will be h eld in person in Bristol (UK) on August 22-23, 202 2.
\nThe aim of the conference is twofold. On the one hand, we would like to investigate the role that various forms of truthmaking semantics and semantical grounding can have in diagnosing th e problematic nature of paradoxes (including, but not limited to, semantic paradoxes, paradoxes of v agueness, paradoxes of conditionalsâ¦), and how t hey can be used to generate possible solutions to them; and, on the other hand, we would like to stu dy paradoxes of truthmaking or paradoxes of semant ic grounding.
\nWe would like to invite the submission of abstracts for several further talks on the conference's themes. There are several slots for submitted contributions of 45-60min. If you are interested in giving a talk, please send an abstract of no more than 2000 words to Simone Picenni and Johannes Korbmacher. Since the main purpose of the workshop is to exchange re sults, we welcome not only papers covering unpubli shed results, but also previous publications that fall within the scope of the workshop. We especial ly encourage submissions from early career researc hers (postgraduate students/PhD students/Post-Docs ).
