The conference New Aspects of Compositionality is to take place at the University of Paris-Sorbonne and at the Ecole Normale Supérieure, France, from June 18 to June 20, 2004.
Compositionality is a key feature of structured representational systems, be they linguistic, mental or neuronal. A system of representations is called compositional just in case the semantic values of complex representations are determined by the semantic values of their parts.
The conference brings together internationally renowned scholars from various disciplines of the cognitive sciences, including philosophers, psychologists, linguists, computer scientists and neuroscientists. The speakers will address the issue of compositionality from very different perspectives. It is the aim of the conference to further the exchange of views on compositionality across the disciplines and to explore the implications and condition of compositionality as a property of representational systems in the study of language, mind and brain.
