[PLing] Workshop: Gaps and Imprecision in Natural Language Semantics

[Valerie Wurm]

Dear all,
We would like to draw your attention to the third edition of the 
workshop series "Gaps and Imprecision in Natural Language Semantics" 
(formerly 'Homogeneity and Non-Maximality Workshop').

Where: ZAS Berlin (with option for online presentation)
When: October 8-9, 2024
Submission deadline: July 31, 2024
Details on how to submit: https://gaps-and-imprecision.netlify.app/call/

The goals of this workshop are
1) to figure out the similarities and differences between semantic 
phenomena where gaps between positive and negative sentences co-occur 
with semantic variability -- this includes homogeneity and 
non-maximality, presuppositions and local accommodation, optional 
exhaustification, vagueness etc.
and 2) to determine to what extent it's plausible to assume that 
semantic gaps and semantic variability are generally closely related.

A longer version of the call and a list of research questions that fit 
the workshop topic can be found at 
https://gaps-and-imprecision.netlify.app/call/

In addition to 40-minute talk slots, we will also have 20-minute slots 
for squib presentations. We explicitly encourage submissions by students 
and work in progress.

We hope to see many of you there!

Best,
Keny Chatain and Nina Haslinger
