This year's workshop focuses on the theme\n of "Where is dynamic semantics now?".\ n Flavours of dynamic semantics (world updati ng, assignment\n changing, etc.) have been br oadly applied to solve problems in\n linguist ics (notably anything related to anaphora) and\n philosophy (e.g., foundational issues of conte xt, the role of\n variables) and have prompte d the development of a diverse range\n of fra meworks with replicable formal results. However in recent\n years direct appeals to the dynamic metaphor have been waning,\n as has the expl icit development of novel systems, or even\n refinements to or mergings of older systems. Has d ynamic\n semantics been so successful in solv ing its problems that all\n that remains for discussion are implementational differences\n among established parameters, or have debates sim ply shifted to\n new issues? Either way now s eems an apt time to take stock and\n question where the decades of research have taken us and w here\n we might hope this legacy to send us i n the future.\n
