Economics and Language | CALL FOR PAPERS A workshop organized by the the Urrutia Elejalde Foundation at the Universidad Nacional de Educacion a Distancia Madrid, June 15th-17th, 2006 Coordinators: Ariel Rubinstein (Tel Aviv University) & Jesus 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), J. F. Alvarez (Madrid), Andreas Blume (Pittsburgh) Bruce Chapman (Toronto), Gerhard J�ger (Bielefeld), Fabi�n Muniesa (Paris), 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) More information: http://www.urrutiaelejalde.org/ David Teira
