The purpose of this workshop is to attract very high quality recent work on the

interdigitation of semantic and pragmatic theories. This topic has become a centre of

intense interest in the last year or so and a book series called Current Research in the

Semantics-Pragmatics Interface (CRiSPI) of which the three organizers of this workshop

are editors or editorial advisors, may have played some role in promoting this interest.

The workshop is interested in attracting papers on the currently fashionable topics of,

among others, presupposition, anaphora resolution, quantification, propositional attitude

attribution and modality, as well as other less recently fashionable topics such as

conditionals. Logical, linguistic, psycholinguistic and computational approaches to these

topics will be welcomed. We hope that each invited speaker will be able to have a one

hour slot, and the other speakers will have 40 minutes (including discussion). Selected

papers may be published as a CRiSPI volume provisionally titled 'Where Semantics

Meets Pragmatics: The Michigan Papers' (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/series/crispi)
