DESCRIPTION:This workshop brings together philosop
 hers and linguists to examine foundational questio
 ns about the nature of language as a scientific su
 bject. Topics include whether language is a natura
 l or social phenomenon, internal or external, lear
 ned or innate, and how to understand polysemy and 
 the competence-performance distinction. We will al
 so explore the interface between grammar and thoug
 ht, and compare statistical models—particularly in
  the age of large language models (LLMs)—with gene
 rative approaches to linguistic structure.  Speake
 rs: Paul Pietroski (Rutgers), Martina Wiltschko (B
 arcelona), John Collins (Basque Country), Piek Vos
 sen (VU Amsterdam), Gary Kemp (Glasgow), Lieven De
 cock (VU Amsterdam), David King (Dublin), Tamara D
 obler (VU Amsterdam), Guido Lohr (VU) and Christia
 n Michel (Edinburgh)
