SUMMARY:Workshop "Formal Semantics Meets Cognitive
  Semantics", Nijmegen
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20150122
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20150123
LOCATION:Nijmegen
DESCRIPTION:Semantics is a divided discipline. On 
 one side we have Formal Semantics, which has its r
 oots in logic and analytical philosophy (Frege, Mo
 ntague). Meaning here is viewed as a relation betw
 een language and external reality, formalized in t
 erms of reference, truth, possible worlds, etc. On
  the other side we have Cognitive Semantics, a cen
 tral part of the Cognitive Linguistics movement, w
 hich grew out of dissatisfaction with formal lingu
 istics (in particular, formal semantics and genera
 tive syntax) in the seventies (Fauconnier, Lakoff,
  Talmy). In this framework meaning is primarily a 
 relation between language and the mind, described 
 in terms of mental spaces, conceptual schemata, fr
 ames, etc.  For more information, see: https://sit
 es.google.com/site/formcogsem/  In this workshop w
 e want to bring together researchers from both sid
 es who contribute to bridging the gap in some way.
  Deadline for submission of 2-page abstracts: Nove
 mber 21, 2014.
