About SPE:
The purpose of the SPE colloquium is to enhance the dialogue between linguists

interface between linguistic semantics and the related areas of philosophy
(philosophy of language, metaphysics, philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of
mind, epistemology) . The colloquium takes place annually in different European
cities, such as Paris (SPE1, 2008), London (SPE2, 2009), and Bochum (SPE4,
2011).
