Sinn und Bedeutung 30

Sinn und Bedeutung 30, the 30th anniversary edition of this prestigious annual workshop on formal semantics and pragmatics, convenes researchers working within and around the tradition of truth-conditional, model-theoretic approaches to linguistic meaning. The program covers the semantics of tense, aspect, modality, quantification, and negation, alongside pragmatic phenomena including implicature, presupposition, and discourse structure, as well as newer directions in the study of demonstrations, depictions, and non-propositional meaning.

Reaching its 30th edition is a significant milestone for a venue that has shaped formal semantics in Europe and worldwide. The conference attracts formal semanticists, pragmaticists, and philosophers of language who share a commitment to rigorous, empirically accountable theories of meaning. Graduate students are strongly encouraged to submit: Sinn und Bedeutung has a well-deserved reputation for providing exceptionally detailed and constructive feedback that helps early-career researchers develop their ideas.
