Seminar

From 2016 till 2019, there was a regular seminar in Amsterdam dedicated specifically to inquisitive semantics and closely related topics. Below is a list of talks given in that period.

Since 2020, members of the inquisitive semantics group in Amsterdam co-organise the Meaning, Logic, and Cognition Seminar together with other research groups at the ILLC interested in meaning. The schedule of this seminar is available on the MLC website.
