<p class="x_x_x_MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="x_x_x_MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">We are excited to announce the second Experiments in Linguistic Meaning (ELM) conference to be hosted by the University of Pennsylvania on May 19-21, 2022.
<span style="background:white">The conference is dedicated to the experimental study of linguistic meaning broadly construed, with a focus on theoretical issues in semantics and pragmatics, their interplay with other components of the grammar, their relation
to language processing and acquisition, as well as their connections to human cognition and computation. We aim to include representation of linguistic, psychological, logical, philosophical, social, developmental, computational, as well as cross-linguistic
and cross-cultural perspectives.</span><u></u></span></p>

<p class="x_x_x_MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The experimental study of meaning in language draws on a broad spectrum of disciplines, topics, and methodologies, and ELM reflects this diversity in its scope. The biennial
</span>ELM conference aims to foster <span style="color:black">the interdisciplinary study of meaning, and to create a community of scholars that might not otherwise meet and interact with each other with regularity. We encourage researchers from around the
world to submit their recent work to ELM2, and to attend in order to discuss the latest theories and data in the cognitive science of meaning broadly construed.</span>

<p class="x_x_x_MsoNormal"><b>Format:</b> In light of continued uncertainties about international in-person conferences due to COVID, we leave the precise format open at this point. While we sincerely hope to hold the conference in person, we plan to be flexible
in terms of accommodating remote presentations where needed, so submissions do not require commitment to in-person attendance. (We will ask for preferences in different scenarios for planning purposes, but this will not be a consideration in acceptance decisions.)<span style="color:black"></span></p>
