ESSLLI was held in Bolzano this summer, August 15-26. Barbara was there for a workshop in the second week on “Referential Semantics One Step Further: Incorporating Insights from Conceptual and Distributional Approaches to Meaning“, organized by Carla Umbach and Louise McNally. My talk was “Lexical Semantics in Formal Semantics: History and Challenges“. The workshop was very stimulating; so was another one I attended on particles and modal adverbs, “Formal, Probabilistic and Typological Approaches to Discourse Particles and Modal Adverbs“, organized by Zeevat, Hogeweg, and van Bergen. Saw lots of old friends and colleagues, and enjoyed exploring Bolzano.
