16-17 December 2011, Amsterdam Graduate Philosophy Conference 2011 (AGPC 2011), Amsterdam, the Netherlands
The Amsterdam Graduate Philosophy Conference 2011 is organised by the Department of Philosophy and the Institute for Logic, Language, and Computation of the Universiteit van Amsterdam. The conference will be held on Friday the 16th of December and Saturday the 17th of December.
The theme this year is Internalism versus Externalism. We encourage contributions which try to bridge the gaps between linguistic, mental, epistemological, and action aspects of the issues mentioned above. Submissions that inform the discussion about internalism and externalism by offering a philosophical interpretation of results from other fields such as logic, decision theory, cognitive psychology, and linguistics, are also welcome.
Submission deadline: 30 September 2011

19-21 December 2011, AC'2011 Workshop on Inquisitiveness, Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Questions and answers are a major topic 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 widely assumed to play a structural role in the analysis of discourse. Likewise, most theories on focus and the interpretation of intonation make a link with the question-answerhood relation. More radically it has been argued that a proper understanding of seemingly purely informative constructions, like disjunctions and conditionals, requires a notion of inquisitiveness as a basic ingredient of meaning. The main aim of this workshop is to investigate the significance of inquisitiveness for semantics, pragmatics, and logic.
For more information, see https://sites.google.com/site/inquisitivesemantics/workshops/. This workshop is hosted by the Amsterdam Colloquium 2011.
19-21 December 2011, 18th Amsterdam Colloquium, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
The 18th Amsterdam Colloquium will be held December 19 - 21, 2011 at the University of Amsterdam. The Amsterdam Colloquia aim at bringing together linguists, philosophers, logicians, cognitive scientists and computer scientists who share an interest in the formal study of the semantics and pragmatics of natural and formal languages. The spectrum of topics covered ranges from descriptive (syntactic and semantic analyses of all kinds of expressions) to theoretical (logical and computational properties of semantic theories, philosophical foundations, evolution and learning of language).
