Quotation is a sort of metarepresentation that is found in all natural 
languages. Linguistic research has made clear that in quotation, there are
 
complex syntactic, morphological and graphematic mechanisms at work. In 
philosophy of language, there are long-standing debates on quotation and 
paradoxes, on the use-mention distinction, and the meaning of quotation 
marks and quotation expressions. More recently, quotation has become a 
topic within the debate on the semantics/pragmatics distinction. Since the
 
aim of the conference is to bring together philosophers and linguists, we
 
call for high-quality papers on all aspects of the conference topic, which
 
will be anonymously reviewed by a reading committee.


Submissions: Contributions to the above mentioned subjects are welcome. 
Authors should submit a paper of at most 500 words, 12 font size, in PDF
