18-19 May 2015, Proper Names Workshop, Budapest, Hungary

One of the central questions in philosophy of language and linguistic semantics in the 20th century was how we refer using proper names. Contemporary work on these issues is being conducted by both linguists and philosophers, and the nature of the topic and some of the recalcitrant problems facing extant accounts call for their collaborative interaction. Accordingly, our invited participants include scholars from both fields. The workshop will consist of six extended sessions over two days, each led by one of our invited speakers, with ample time for discussion and interaction with the distinguished group of invited discussants.

Please let us know by May 5th if you would like to attend, so we can plan accordingly. For more information and a registration form, see http://ias.ceu.edu/node/43092 or contact croberts at ling.osu.edu or zvolenszky at elte.hu.
