Professor of Philosophy and Linguistics Eric Swanson recently presented at Philosophical Linguistics and Linguistic Philosophy (PhLiP) 10, in Westchester, NY. PhLiP is a small, workshop-style conference that brings together researchers who are working at the intersection of philosophy and linguistics. The conference is a four-day retreat intended to provide the opportunity for intense discussions of topics at the intersection of linguistic semantics and pragmatics and philosophy of language. Professor Swanson’s talk was titled “Four kinds of normative tension and the semantics of modals”.
