SUMMARY:Workshop "Situations, Information, and Sem
 antic Content", Munich, Germany
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20161216
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20161218
LOCATION:Munich, Germany
DESCRIPTION:The semantic content of natural langua
 ge is multiply *situated*: Whether an utterance re
 ceives one interpretation or another depends on th
 e *discourse situation* (in which the utterance ta
 kes place), on the *target situation* (which is de
 scribed by the utterance), and on the interpreting
  agents' *informational situation* (which also con
 tains the agents' background knowledge). Over the 
 past decades, work on extralinguistic context-depe
 ndence has focused on discourse situations and tar
 get situations, and has paid less attention to the
  dependence of interpretation on the agents' infor
 mational situation. However, this kind of informat
 ion-dependence plays a crucial role in the explana
 tion of a number of semantic phenomena, including 
 the behavior of epistemic/deontic modals and propo
 sitional attitude-sentences. This workshop aims to
  bring together linguists, philosophers, logicians
 , and cognitive and computer scientists to discuss
  the information-dependence of the semantic conten
 t of natural language. It covers all aspects of th
 e interaction between situations, information, and
  semantic content, both theoretical and experiment
 al.
