Tradition al semantics gives the meaning of expressions in t erms of conditions on one kind of primitive (e.g. truth, assertion, belief). Bilateral approaches ho ld that the meaning of expressions is characterize d in terms of conditions on two, usually opposite primitives (e.g. truth and falsity, assertion and rejection, belief and disbelief). Recent years hav e witnessed the independent development of a varie ty of bilateral approaches to analyze phenomena su ch as negation, epistemic modality and counterfact uals, from both a proof-theoretic and a model-theo retic perspective. The workshop will bring togethe r researchers from either perspective in order to provide a venue for the systematic exploration of commonalities, differences and potential interacti ons between such approaches.
\n\nInvited s peakers: Maria Aloni (ILLC, Amsterdam), Teresa Mar ques (Logos, Barcelona), Greg Restall (Melbourne) and David Ripley (Monash).
\nWe invite submissions from both a proof-theoretic and model-theoretical perspective, and especially welcome contributions addressing possible interact ions between the two perspectives. One presentatio n slot will be reserved for early career researche rs (PhD students and researchers who obtained thei r PhD no later than 5 years after the submission d eadline).
