Workshop to mark the end of the NWO Vidi project The Language of Fiction and Imagination, Groningen, September 29-30, 2022.

Topics of interest include any philosophical and linguistic topics related to fiction (fictional truth/reference, imagination, pretense, fiction-making speech acts, etc) or narrative (unreliable narration, coherence, perspective, attributing mental states, etc), and with a special focus on how these categories interact with differences of modality/media (signed, spoken, written, pictorial, movies, videogames). See website for list of invited speakers

We're reserving some space in the program for short pitches (5-10 minutes, tbd) and/or posters so (junior) researchers interested in participating have the option to present research related to the workshop themes. If you're interested, submit a short (max 1 page) abstract through the form on the website. We'll make a quick selection (without anonymous peer review). Deadline for submitting the short abstract is August 24 (midnight). Notification of acceptance before August 30.
