We would like to enable a live video streaming of the event in order to engage those who are physically unable to attend. This would also enable us to have a richer panel discussion.
The discussion will address the core questions facing the overall theme of the workshop, that is, the prospect of formal diachronic semantics and its status in relation both to other diachronic fields of linguistics as well as synchronic semantics and pragmatics.
All are very welcome, and strongly encouraged, to use the commenting option below to post questions that the discussion will address.
