The Workshop on “Indefinites in Discourse Structure”, is part of the workshop series 'Referential Expressions in Discourse’ (RED) and the follow up of the Workshops “Indefinites and Beyond” (Göttingen, 2011) and “Indefinites in Discourse” (Cologne, 2013).

Call for Papers:
The workshop invites contribution to different kinds of indefinites and their semantic and pragmatic effects on discourse structure. Abstracts are invited for 20 minute talks (plus 10 minutes for discussion) on topics dealing with the semantics and pragmatics of indefinite, definite noun and demonstrative NPs with respect to discourse structure, discourse development and context.

On the first day will be a regular conference with talks, while the second day will have a different format. We plan to organise discussion groups around 2 or 3 dedicated topics identified on the first day.
