BACKGROUND

This workshop is to be held in the frame of the PRELUDE project (funded by
the French ANR – Agence Nationale pour la Recherche),
which is a joint project of four research teams : laboratoire “Structures
Formelles de la Langue” (Paris VIII and CNRS),
Institut de mathématiques de Luminy (Aix-Marseille and CNRS), laboratoire
d’informatique de Bordeaux (équipe Signes) (Bordeaux I, CNRS and INRIA)
and laboratoire lorrain de recherches en informatique et applications
(LORIA, Nancy). It will be hosted by Paris VIII University in its premises
located in Paris, 59 rue Pouchet (17e).

AIMS AND SCOPE

“PRELUDE” stands for “Towards a Theoretical Pragmatic based on Ludics and
Continuations”, that is to say that a particular
emphasis has been put during all these years on the use of new formal
tools coming from Theoretical Computer Science and Logic
in order to give new formulations for language phenomena pertaining to
formal semantics (logical forms), pragmatics (dialogue, presupposition)
and even argumentation (fallacies and stratagems).
As indicated by its title, this workshop will be devoted on all aspects of
the formal study of dialogue and interactions :
syntax of dialogue, semantic, pragmatic and philosophical aspects.
