The 35th meeting of Semantics and Linguistic Theory

The 35th meeting of Semantics and Linguistic Theory (SALT 35) is one of the most prestigious and technically demanding conferences in formal semantics, dedicated to research on the meaning of natural language expressions using the tools of logic, model theory, and formal pragmatics. Topics include compositional semantics, quantification, tense and aspect, modality, presupposition, implicature, dynamic semantics, and cross-linguistic semantic universals, examined through precise formal analyses grounded in linguistic data.

SALT attracts formal semanticists, logicians, and linguists who work at the intersection of grammar and logic, and the conference is known for both the rigor of its peer review and the high quality of debate that characterizes its presentations. Graduate students presenting at SALT join a community that takes formal precision seriously as a scientific virtue, and the conference plays a major role in setting the technical standards and theoretical agenda for formal semantics as a discipline.
