Athens Semantics Group

Online

This online reading group aims at providing a platform for the presentation of research in formal semantics and allied fields. Due to its liberal time frame, the format is particularly suited for discussion of work in progress and programmatic projects. The platfom is Zoom and meetings are usually scheduled for Thursday or Friday, 5pm - 7pm (Athens time, UCT + 3; time zone differences and the attempt to avoid collusion with other events neccessitate some flexibility).

If you would like to participate, listen in or simply receive regular updates about our activities, please send a message to Winfried Lechner.
