SUMMARY:Modeling experiencers in natural language 
 semantics (ISLA 2014 workshop), Tezpur, India
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20140113

LOCATION:Tezpur, India
DESCRIPTION:There is a long-standing tradition of 
 using logical and, more specifically, model-theore
 tic tools in the analysis of natural languages. Bu
 ilding on this tradition, this ISLA-2014 workshop 
 aims at addressing one specific issue that has bee
 n the topic of discussion lately in the areas of f
 ormal semantics, applied logic, computational ling
 uistics, and philosophy. The issue at stake is the
  notion of *experiencer*, across languages and acr
 oss linguistic categories.  In addressing question
 s concerning experiencers, our workshop aims at re
 aching a better understanding of the nature of arg
 ument structure in natural language, which we take
  to be a key element in understanding the logical 
 patterns that linguistic constructions give rise t
 o, and in modeling the logic of natural language. 
 Our interdisciplinary workshop will provide a plat
 form for a fruitful exchange between those working
  in foundational areas in logic and those who are 
 interested in the applications of logic to natural
  languages.   For more information, see http://par
 les.upf.edu/llocs/bgehrke/experiencers2014/  We in
 vite abstracts for 40-minute presentations (30 + 1
 0) to be submitted by October 22 (extended deadlin
 e).
