Semantics and Information Structure

Göttingen, April 27 & 28, 2007

The workshop will take place in the Zentrum für Interdisziplinäre Sprachforschung (ZIS) (Käte-Hamburger-Weg 3, 37073 Göttingen, Room 183) The ZIS is at about 30 minutes walking distance from the train station. A German description of how to get to the building can be found here (On the map it says "SEP", but the ZIS is right next to the SEP - don't worry, you'll find it.). Inside the building there will be signs showing the way to the workshop room.
