25 April 2024, CfP: Abstract Concepts/ Perception/ and Language, 25th April 2024, Cambridge, UK
This event, organised by members of the Semantics, Pragmatics, and Philosophy (SPP) research group of the University of Cambridge, aims to bring together those interested in abstract concepts across disciplinary boundaries. This workshop aims to encourage and explore innovative ways, both theoretical and experimental, of analysing and understanding the meaning of abstract concepts. This could include work on topics such as time, conceptual engineering, investigations into concepts such as freedom or justice, processing of abstract concepts, or diachronic investigations of scientific or social abstract concepts, to name just a few.
The workshop aims to be an environment in which PhD and graduate students may present their work and get feedback from their peers, as well as those who may not traditionally fall within their discipline's boundaries. The event will also include talks from three academics: Dr. Sean Enda Power (University of Cork), Dr. Derek Ball (St Andrews University), and Prof. Kasia Jaszczolt (University of Cambridge).
We invite proposals for presentations consisting of 300 words plus bibliography. This will be a free, one-day event. PhD/Grad presentations will be 20-min long + 10 minutes for questions/discussion. Ongoing works will be considered and are explicitly encouraged. Abstracts for poster presentations also accepted.
