Call for Papers at the Journal of Semantics
Journal of Semantics
Special issue "Processing meaning"
Guest editors: Robyn Carston and Julie Sedivy
Deadline for submissions: August 1, 2006
Although in the last two or three decades many researchers in semantics and pragmatics have adopted a cognitivist stance on natural language interpretation, for a long time the relations between semantics/pragmatics and experimental psychology were lukewarm, at best. Recently, however, this has begun to change, and the past few years have yielded a fair number of truly interdisciplinary studies on such diverse topics as anaphora, quantification, modality, implicature, polysemy, and so on.
Next year, the Journal of Semantics will publish a special issue that aims to bring together theoretical and experimental approaches to semantics and pragmatics. Papers submitted for this issue should
address topics related to semantic/pragmatic processing, and should be of interest to an interdisciplinary readership. Submitted papers should be in pdf-format and be emailed to the managing editor:
bart.geurts@phil.ru.nl
-------------
