[iaoa-education] ESAO session with James Hampton on Mon, Jun 12? == RE(2): IAOA Education Committee Meeting n.63 - Tue, Mar 28, 2023: Announcement (incl. poll on meeting time in general)

[Frank Loebe]

Dear all,

FYI: after trying to find out whether running that session would be 
doable organizationally/technically via Cassia and possibly Laure or 
myself, the three of us would in principle support the idea.

  --> If anyone would want to object, that should happen asap, please.

For the time being, we'll try to move things forward (as much as time 
permits). Volunteers for preparing the announcement message (based on 
the data in Oliver's message and a former text at [1]) and/or 
distributing it won't be rejected (I expect) ... ;-)

Thanks and best regards,
Frank

> Abstract of the seminar:
> I will review a wider range of research into the problem of how 
> prototype concepts combine. When nouns are placed in a noun-noun 
> compound, (e.g. CRIMINAL LAWYER) different strategies can be used in 
> English to arrive at a semantic interpretation.  I will discuss some of 
> the processes involved, and the effects of stress. The second part of my 
> talk will examine how people interpret logical connectives when applied 
> to vague semantic categories such as Vehicle or Fruit.  Finally I will 
> present some new data looking at how people judge a conjunction of two 
> vague predicates, as in “These sunglasses are large and dark” where both 
> size and shade of a set of sunglasses are distributed around a vague 
> boundary.
