         Workshop: Syntax, Semantics and Pragmatics of Questions
                            August 9-13, 2004

       http://amor.rz.hu-berlin.de/~h2816i3x/ESSLLI_Questions.html

Organized as part of the European Summer School on Logic, Language, and
         Information (ESSLLI), August 9-20, 2004 in Nancy, France
                        http://esslli2004.loria.fr

Workshop organizers:
- Ileana Comorovski, Université Nancy 2 (comorovski@univ-nancy2.fr)
- Manfred Krifka, Humboldt-Universität & Zentrum für Allgemeine
    Sprachwissenschaft (ZAS), Berlin (krifka@zas.gwz-berlin.de)

Workshop Purpose:
The investigation of questions has deepened our understanding of
syntax (e.g. the constraints on syntactic dependencies), of semantics
(e.g., the representation of non-declarative information) and of
pragmatics (e.g., the nature of speech acts). However, researchers
often took little notice of research on questions (and answers) in
adjacent fields. For example, syntacticians interested in multiple
constituent questions were unaware of the interpretation of different
types of multiple questions, and semanticists disregarded important
pragmatic factors like speaker bias. This workshop tries to bring
together researchers that transcend such boundaries. The goal is to
gain not only a more profound understanding of questions, but of the
interaction of syntax, semantics and pragmatics in general.

         Subject: conference on electronic theses and dissertations

Conference: ETD 2004: June 3-5, 2004, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY

The Seventh International Conference on Electronic Theses and Dissertations
(ETDs) will emphasize support for creators of scholarly electronic
documents in any discipline, building ETD initiatives that create value for
universities, students and faculty, and encouraging collaborative efforts
among institutions. ETD 2004 is organized by the Networked Digital Library
of Theses and Dissertations (NDLTD) initiative, an open federation of 174
member universities and supporting organizations, including research
institutions and private companies, that supports the authoring, usability,
and dissemination of ETDs worldwide. NDLTD's goal is to improve graduate
education and access to research by encouraging students to produce
electronic documents, use digital libraries, and understand publishing
issues.

Session topics will include: Shaping the future of scholarly communication;
unique issues about ETDs for different disciplines; administrators and ETDs:
the challenges and the rewards for the university and the university
community; training and supporting scholarly electronic document authors;
ETDs and open access, intellectual property rights, digital rights
management, and fair use entitlements; and multimedia issues for the
presentation of scholarly material.
