Meeting Description:

We are delighted to announce that a Summer School entitled ?Conditionals 
in Paris ? logic, linguistics and psychology? will take place at INALCO in 
Paris from 3 to 7 June, 2019. We cordially invite you to join us! 
Philosophers and logicians have studied conditional constructions, of the 
form ?if A then B?, for millennia, and have made many deep points about 
them. However, we are still far from having a full account of them and 
their essential relation to reasoning, to inferring B from A. More 
recently, linguists, psychologists, cognitive scientists, and theorists in 
artificial intelligence have also illuminated this study. Our Summer 
School will be truly interdisciplinary, and will be structured around 
linguistics, philosophical logic, and psychology, bringing together 
internationally renowned experts in these fields to introduce and advance 
research on conditionals. We look forward to welcoming everyone who wants 
to learn about and contribute to this research to Paris.
