The doctoral researchers of RTG ’Nominal Modification' are organising a two-day Workshop on Word Order in the Nominal Domain (WONDo): Factors, Perspectives & Approaches. The workshop will take place between November 10-11, 2022 on Campus Westend (Cas 1.811) of Goethe University (https://sites.google.com/view/wondo2022/homepage). The workshop will host talks both by doctoral researchers, GK alumni and invited speakers. Participation is free of costs but please make sure to register here by October 31, 2022: https://sites.google.com/view/wondo2022/registration. Keep an eye on the homepage for the program.

We are happy to announce a talk by Bartosz Więckowski (GU Frankfurt) at the Semantics Colloquium. Please register beforehand (s.walter@em.uni-frankfurt.de) to receive the access data to zoom on Thursday shortly before the talk starts. Title: Counterfactual implication and counterfactual possibility Date: June 10 Time: 2 pm – 4 pm ct Abstract: Counterfactual inference is usually studied in terms of proof systems defined on the basis of a model-theoretic semantics (e.g., similarity semantics). Typically, the systems extend classical logic. In this talk, I shall (continue to) motivate and outline an intuitionistic proof-theoretic approach that aims to explain the logic and semantics of counterfactuals directly in terms of suitably defined rules of inference.  I will first present elementary intuitionistic subatomic natural deduction systems which make use of various modes of making assumptions. The systems admit a formulation of a proof-theoretic semantics for elementary would-counterfactuals that is based on normalization. I will then extend these systems with possibility operators which are sensitive to assumption-modes, and consider, how, in the intuitionistic setting (no...
