Meeting Description:

Formal Dichronich Semantics [FoDS] is a forum bringing together scholars working on the exploration of the semantics and pragmatics of diachronic changes in natural languages from a formal perspective.

Call for Papers:

We invite submission of abstracts for oral as well as poster presentations on topics that address semantic change from within the paradigm of formal semantics/pragmatics. We also welcome research at the interfaces with syntax and other areas, as long as it makes a contribution to the area of formal diachronic semantics/pragmatics. Submissions are limited to one individual and one joint abstract per author (or two joint abstracts per author).

Submissions must be anonymous. Abstracts should fit two pages (letter size or A4 paper, 2.54cm margins on all sides, 12 Times New Roman), with an additional third page used *exclusively* for the following elements: references (obligatory), large figures or tables, and as many lines of the body of the abstract as there are lines of glosses and translations in non-English glossed examples. Examples should be interspersed in the text, rather than collected at the end. Abstracts must be submitted in PDF format by sending an email to fods8.
