The 36th meeting of Semantics and Linguistic Theory

The 36th meeting of Semantics and Linguistic Theory (SALT 36) is one of the most prestigious annual conferences in formal semantics, attracting leading researchers who investigate the logical and compositional structure of natural language meaning. SALT focuses on the systematic study of how sentences come to mean what they do, including topics such as quantification, tense and aspect, modality, focus, presupposition, indexicality, and cross-linguistic semantic universals. The conference maintains a strong commitment to theoretically rigorous, empirically grounded research.

SALT is essential for formal semanticists, philosophers of language, and syntacticians working on the syntax-semantics interface. Graduate students presenting at SALT gain exposure to the highest standards of the field and receive detailed feedback from a knowledgeable and engaged audience. The proceedings are a key archival venue for semantic research, and many of the field's most influential ideas have been first presented and sharpened in the SALT forum over its three-decade history.
