Deadline for submission of abstracts: November 15 (very soon!). The workshop is held in connection with GLOW. The website for the Compositionality Workshop is here. Maribel Romero (1998 UMass PhD) is the (sole) invited speaker.

“Compositionality has always been a key methodological assumption in formal semantic theory. As a result, meaning is to be studied at the syntax-semantics interface. The nature of this field of enquiry is in flux, though. Not only is our understanding of syntax in continuous development, the 21st century saw pragmatic phenomena become part of the semantic agenda. The upshot is that compositionality is now at the center of the interplay between syntax, semantics and pragmatics. The focus of this GLOW workshop is how advances in syntax and pragma/semantics impact on our understanding of compositional interpretation.”
