Workshop "Context-Sensitivity and Logical Consequence" We are pleased to announce the following workshop to be held at the University of Bonn from the 4th to the 5th of June 2019: "Context-Sensitivity and Logical Consequence" Logic and the study of semantic context-sensitivity are intimately related. By providing the tools to make the notion of the ?context of utterance? formally precise, logic and mathematics played a vital role in turning contexts into a respectable object of research in formal semantics. On the other hand, allowing contexts in a formal system has significant influence on the way some key terms of logic are construed in that system. The workshop approaches the interrelations between logic and context-sensitivity from both philosophical and linguistic perspectives. The guiding question is in how far context-sensitivity affects logical concepts and deductive reasoning.
