Cfp: "Semantics and Philosophy in Europe," Second Annual Colloquium, Institute of Philosophy, University of London, April 16-18, 2009.

The purpose of the colloquium is to enhance the dialogue between linguists and philosophers and to provide a new forum for presenting research in the interface between linguistic semantics and the various related areas of philosophy (philosophy of language, epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of mathematics, and philosophy of mind). The colloquium is to take place every year, alternating between Paris, London, St Andrews, Barcelona and Oslo. The first colloquium took place in Paris, in May 2008. We invite submissions on any of the interface areas of linguistics, semantics and philosophy for 40 minute talks.
