*Workshop on Compositional Meaning in Logic [GeTFun 2.0]*<http://sqig.math.ist.utl.pt/GeTFun/2.0> Affiliated with the Vienna Summer of Logic [VSL 2014] <http://vsl2014.at/>
Vienna, Austria July 22-23, 2014 Submission deadline: April 5, 2014 The Fregean-inspired Principle of Compositionality of Meaning (PoC), for formal languages, may be construed as asserting that the meaning of a compound expression is deterministically (and often recursively) analysable in terms of the meaning of its constituents, taking into account the mode in which these constituents are combined so as to form the compound expression. From a logical point of view, this amounts to prescribing a constraint - that may or may not be respected - on the internal mechanisms that build and give meaning to a formal system. Within the domain of formal semantics and of the structure of logical derivations, PoC is often directly reflected by metaproperties such as truth-functionality and analyticity, characteristic of computationally well-behaved logical systems. After the success of the first edition<http://sqig.math.ist.utl.pt/GeTFun/1.0>, the *Workshop on Compositional Meaning in Logic [GeTFun 2.0]* is again dedicated to the study of various well-motivated ways in which such attractive properties and metaproperties may be stretched so as to cover more extensive logical grounds. The ubiquity of non-classical logics in the formalization of practical reasoning demands the formulation of more flexible theories of meaning and compositionality that allow for the establishment of coherent and inclusive bases for their understanding. Such investigations presuppose not only the development of adequate frameworks from the perspectives of Model Theory, Proof Theory and Universal Logic, but also the construction of solid bridges between the related approaches based on various generalizations of truth-functionality. Applications of broadly truth-functional logics, in their various guises, are envisaged in several areas of computer science, mathematics, philosophy and linguistics, where the ever increasing complexity of systems continuously raises new and difficult challenges to compositionality. We welcome submissions on all topics related to compositionality of meaning in logic, and in particular to issues connected to generalizations of metalogical notions such as: - truth-functionality - nondeterminism in semantics - logical bivalence vs algebraic many-valuedness - analyticity - subformula principle and complexity measures - semantic effectiveness and decision procedures for non-classical logics - cut-free vs cut-based proof formalisms - proof strategies and proof-search - modular logical specification formalisms - rule invertibility, structurality and logical harmony Submissions should consist of an abstract of up to 1,000 words, sent by email before April 5, 2014 to <getf...@gmail.com>. At least one author of each accepted contribution is expected to participate in the workshop and present the work. The registration fee, standard to the VSL event, is 200 euro per participant. A post-workshop special issue of the journal Logica Universalis is being planned, with fresh refereeing, in all cases.
