In the last decade or so, there has been a renewed interest in speech acts
within formal semantics and pragmatics, spurred by work on topics like clause
typing, explicit performatives and discourse particles on the one hand, and
the development of new formal models for the study of pragmatics and discourse
on the other.

We invite submissions of abstracts for 30-minute oral presentations (plus
discussion) that address these and related questions from a theoretical,
empirical or formal perspective.

The workshop is will take place at the University of Konstanz, Germany on
September 14-16, 2017 and will feature talks by: Joe Buffington (Albany Law), Cleo Condoravdi (Stanford), Christine Gunlogson (Rochester), Magdalena Kaufmann (UConn), Will Starr (Cornell).

Abstracts should be no longer than 2 pages (Times 12 pt, 1 inch margins,
including all examples and figures), references may be included on a third
page. Submit abstracts by May 21 via the Easychair page:
