28 et 29 avril 2022. The topic of the workshop is emotions and their linguistic reflection.

The topic of the workshop is emotions and their linguistic reflection. This includes issues such as :
  • What is the nature of emotion and what sort of linguistic support is there for it (e.g. are emotions perceptions, judgments, evaluations or propositional attitudes, and is there linguistic support for one or the other view ?) ;
  • How do emotions relate to cognitive attitudes ? Can emotions come with a propositional content or are they rather directed toward a fact or state of affairs ?
  • What role do emotions play for the notion of direction of fit ? What conditions of fit are emotions themselves subject to and are there linguistic reflections of that ?
  • The syntax and semantics ofdifferent types of reports of emotions
Invited speakers :
