SUMMARY:Amsterdam Graduate Philosophy Conference o
 n "Meaning and Truth" (AGPC'09), Amsterdam
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20091001
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20091003
LOCATION:Amsterdam
DESCRIPTION:The conference is dedicated to explori
 ng new ideas on what has been and remains a fundam
 ental theme in the philosophy of language, namely,
  the relation between meaning and truth. We invite
  papers from young researchers who have an origina
 l contribution to make regarding the role of truth
  in a theory of meaning, the role of meaning in a 
 theory of truth, or even the question of whether m
 eaning and truth are actually related in an intere
 sting way.   The conference is motivated by the on
 going debates and discussions that pose new challe
 nges on how to conceive of meaning and of truth, a
 nd the relation between them. Some areas of intere
 st here include: truth-functional vs. proof-theore
 tic semantics; semantic theories of truth; the rol
 e of context in interpretation; semantic normativi
 ty; deflationism; meaning as use; inferentialism; 
 compositionality; vagueness; the semantics-pragmat
 ics interface; language evolution.  The program co
 mmittee invites submissions in the form of short p
 apers (not longer than 4000 words) accompanied by 
 short abstracts (not longer than 500 words). The d
 eadline for submission is June 10 and it should fo
 llow the on-line submission form, available on the
  conference website. Candidates eligible for submi
 ssion are graduate students and those who have com
 pleted a doctoral dissertation within the last thr
 ee years.   For more information, please visit the
  conference website at https://www.illc.uva.nl/agp
 c/agpc09/, or contact agpc at uva.nl
