Conceptual structure of attitudes: Language and cognition
The CSA 2026 workshop, part of ESSLLI 2026 in Prague, brings together researchers from linguistics, philosophy, and psychology to explore propositional attitudes—such as belief, knowledge, desire, and intention—focusing on their linguistic expression, cognitive foundations, and interdisciplinary connections. It aims to bridge longstanding divides between linguistic semantics and intentional psychology by fostering dialogue on the nature of attitudes in communication and cognition.
