**Second Call for Abstracts**

------------------------

**Logic and Language Conference**

Friday 24th September - Sunday 26th September, 2010

University of Aberdeen, Northern Institute of Philosophy

The 2010 Logic and Language Conference is the first of a series of
conferences co-organized by the Northern Institute of Philosophy at the
University of Aberdeen, and by the Centre for Logic and Language of the
Institute of Philosophy at the School of Advanced Study, University of
London.
Staged every two years, alternating location between Aberdeen and London,
this workshop aims at resurrecting the traditional UK Logic and Language
conference series and at becoming a prominent feature in the British
philosophical calendar.
The Conference is meant primarily as a showcase for young philosophers to
present and discuss their best work, but will host keynote speakers as well.
For this first edition, the topic for the invited contributions is "Fiction
and Fictionalism".
However, submissions are welcome in any areas of Philosophical Logic broadly
conceived, Philosophy of Language, and the interface between Linguistics and
Philosophy.
