Quantity in Language and Thought http://www.jakubszymanik.com/CoSaQ/events/quantity-in-language-and-thought/ We are pleased to announce that we will be hosting a workshop entitled Quantity in Language and Thought at ESSLLI 2018 <http://esslli2018.folli.info/> in Sofia, Bulgaria. For more information, see below or contact Shane Steinert-Threlkeld <mailto:S.N.M.Steinert-Threlkeld@uva.nl> and Jakub Szymanik <mailto:jakub.szymanik@gmail.com>. Keynote Speakers Jakub Dotla?il <http://jakubdotlacil.com/> (Amsterdam) Michael Franke <http://www.sfs.uni-tuebingen.de/~mfranke/> (Tübingen) Steven Piantadosi <https://colala.bcs.rochester.edu/people/piantadosi/> (Rochester) Important Dates Submission deadline: May 15 Notification: June 15 Workshop: August 13 ? 17 Call for Papers Quantifiers are linguistic expressions encoding representations of quantities. Their study has been one of the great success stories in natural language semantics. On the other hand, the study of the mental representation of numerical and other quantitative information has become an active area of research in cognitive science and neuroscience. This workshop provides a venue for continued exploration of the interface between these two domains. In what ways do cognitive theories of quantities constrain and inform the semantics of quantifiers? Are the quantifiers realized in natural language constrained by our cognitive representations of number? Similarly, can insights from semantics inform the study of the psychology of number? We welcome new experimental and theoretical work at this interface. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Formal semantics and pragmatics of quantifiers Experimental semantics of quantifiers Neuroscience of quantification Corpora research on quantifiers Numerical cognition Mass vs count quantification Procedural semantics Computational models of quantification Learnability of quantifiers Evolution of quantification Cognitive models based on semantic representations Foundational issues at the semantics-cognition interface We invite anonymized submission of abstracts of 2 pages (12 pt font; 1in or 2.5cm margins) ? with an extra page for references of figures ? on new research on topics related to those listed above.
