Their study has been one of the great success stories in natural language semantics. On the other hand, the study of the mental representation of numerical and other quantitative information has become an active area of research in cognitive science and neuroscience. This workshop provides a venue for continued exploration of the interface between these two domains. In what ways do cognitive theories of quantities constrain and inform the semantics of quantifiers? Are the quantifiers realized in natural language constrained by our cognitive representations of number? Similarly, can insights from semantics inform the study of the psychology of number? We welcome new experimental and theoretical work at this interface.<\/p>\n<p>Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Formal semantics and pragmatics of quantifiers<\/li>\n<li>Experimental semantics and pragmatics of quantifiers<\/li>\n<li>Neuroscience of quantification<\/li>\n<li>Corpora research on quantifiers<\/li>\n<li>Numerical cognition<\/li>\n<li>Mass vs count quantification<\/li>\n<li>Procedural semantics<\/li>\n<li>Computational models of quantification<\/li>\n<li>Learnability of quantifiers<\/li>\n<li>Evolution of quantification<\/li>\n<li>Cognitive models based on semantic representations<\/li>\n<li>Foundational issues at the semantics-cognition interface<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We invite anonymized submission of abstracts of <strong>2 pages<\/strong><strong> (12 pt font; 1in or 2.5cm margins)<\/strong> &#8212; with an extra page for references of figures &#8212; on new research on topics related to those listed above.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Deadline: May 15 (23:59 GMT)<\/li>\n<li>Submission link: <a href=\"https:\/\/easychair.org\/conferences\/?conf=quantlangthought18\">https:\/\/easychair.org\/conferences\/?conf=quantlangthought18<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Program Committee<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Shane Steinert-Threlkeld\u00a0(co-chair)<\/li>\n<li>Jakub Szymanik (co-chair<a href=\"mailto:jakub.szymanik@gmail.com\">)<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Giosu\u00e8 Baggio<\/li>\n<li>Raffaella Bernardi<\/li>\n<li>Jakub Dotla\u010dil<\/li>\n<li>Michael Franke<\/li>\n<li>Michael Glanzberg<\/li>\n<li>Yosef Grodzinsky<\/li>\n<li>Dariusz Kaloci\u0144ski<\/li>\n<li>Hadas Kotek<\/li>\n<li>Steven Piantadosi<\/li>\n<li>Fabian Schlotterbeck<\/li>\n<li>Stephanie Solt<\/li>\n<li>Maria Spychalska<\/li>\n<li>Camilo Thorne<\/li>\n<li>Barbara Tomaszewicz<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are pleased to announce that we will be hosting a workshop entitled\u00a0Quantity in Language and Thought at ESSLLI 2018 in Sofia, Bulgaria.\u00a0 For more information, see below or contact Shane Steinert-Threlkeld and Jakub Szymanik.
