Meeting Description:

Formal Diachronic Semantics (FoDS) is a venue dedicated to work in semantic change carried out within the paradigm of formal semantics/pragmatics. The 4th FoDS will be hosted by the Linguistics Department at OSU, on November 15-16 2019.

Call for Papers:

We invite submission of abstracts for 30-minute oral presentations (with an additional 10 minutes for questions) or poster presentations on topics that address semantic change from within the paradigm of formal semantics/pragmatics. These may include case studies, studies of trends, corpus results, as well as formal theories of meaning change in specific domains. We also welcome research at the interfaces with syntax and other areas, as long as the research makes a contribution to the area of formal diachronic semantics. We welcome papers that address methodological questions in the field.

Abstracts must be anonymous, in PDF format, 2 pages (A4 or letter), in a font size no less than 12pt, and with margins of 1 inch/2.5cm. Please submit abstracts on EasyChair (https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=fods4) no later than July 1, 2019.
