Call for papers
The annual Southern New England Workshop in Semantics (SNEWS), previously known variously as the UMass-MIT semantics workshop, theUMass-UConn-MIT semantics workshop, and the Umass-UConn-MIT-Brown semantics workshop, will be held at Brown University on Saturday, October 16. SNEWS is a place for students and faculty to present their work and work-in-progress on semantics and its interfaces. Like last year, NELS will follow SNEWS, which makes SNEWS a good place to get feedback on NELS presentations.
