Logic & Language: 5th Annual Graduate Conference

Department of Philosophy
University of Calgary

May 27–28, 2016

The topic of the 2016 University of Calgary Graduate Philosophy Conference will be Logic and Language. Topics at the intersection of philosophy of language and (philosophy of) logic have a long and fruitful history, and continue to be at the forefront of research in the “core” of analytic philosophy. We invite submissions on any topic in philosophy of language and/or logic and its philosophy, with a preference for papers that address issues at their intersection, or papers that engage with the work of either of our keynotes. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

• Truth
• conditionals
• logical form
• the relationship(s) between formal and natural languages
• the meanings of syncategoremata
• counterfactuals
• formal semantics
• modals
• translation
• historical connections between logic and language
• propositions
• . . .
