The languages indigenous to California present considerable typological diversity among themselves and contrast in many ways with languages found in other parts of the world.
Papers are welcome on any topic of interest to typologists.
Each paper will be 20 minutes in length plus 10 minutes for discussion. The Sinn und Bedeutung meetings aim to provide a platform for semanticists to present recent work. The area of interest includes any topic from current areas of semantic research, formal semantics, cognitive semantics, descriptive semantics, typological semantics, historical semantics, philosophy of language etc. Accepted abstracts will be published in the program booklet.
