SUMMARY:AC'2011 Workshop on Inquisitiveness, Amste
 rdam, the Netherlands
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20111219
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20111221
LOCATION:Amsterdam, the Netherlands
DESCRIPTION:Questions and answers are a major topi
 c in semantics and pragmatics, and to some extent 
 in logic and philosophy as well. This interest in 
 inquisitiveness goes beyond the interpretation of 
 questions as such. For example, questions are wide
 ly assumed to play a structural role in the analys
 is of discourse. Likewise, most theories on focus 
 and the interpretation of intonation make a link w
 ith the question-answerhood relation. More radical
 ly it has been argued that a proper understanding 
 of seemingly purely informative constructions, lik
 e disjunctions and conditionals, requires a notion
  of inquisitiveness as a basic ingredient of meani
 ng. The main aim of this workshop is to investigat
 e the significance of inquisitiveness for semantic
 s, pragmatics, and logic.  For more information, s

 ics/workshops/. This workshop is hosted by the Ams
 terdam Colloquium 2011.   The Programme Committee 
 cordially invites all researchers to submit their 
 papers for presentation. Deadline for abstract sub
 missions: 1 September 2011
