Economics and Language | CALL FOR PAPERS  
  
A workshop organized by the the Urrutia Elejalde Foundation at the  
Universidad Nacional de Educaci�n a Distancia  
Madrid, June 15th-17th, 2006  
  
Coordinators:  
  
Ariel Rubinstein (Tel Aviv University) & Jes�s Zamora Bonilla (UNED)  
  
Can economists contribute to the study of language? Very often  
philosophers have questioned that instrumental rationality could account  
for the rational structure underlying our natural languages. Most  
linguists have simply ignored the economic approach. After the  
publication of Ariel Rubinstein's Economics and Language (CUP, 2000)  
there seems to be an opportunity to bridge all these gaps.  
  
Preliminary list of speakers:  
Ariel Rubinstein (Tel Aviv), Andreas Blume (Pittsburgh), Bruce Chapman  
(Toronto), Robert van Rooij (Amsterdam)  
  
Call for papers:  
Contributions by researchers on game theory, philosophy of language,  
theoretical linguistics and related disciplines will be considered for  
presentation at the Workshop. Submit a two-page abstract, no later than  
April 17th, 2006, to Jesus Zamora (jpzb {at} fsof.uned.es)
