SUMMARY:Guest lecture by distinguished professor Michael Glanzberg
DESCRIPTION:Professor Michael Glanzberg will provide a brief overview of the goals and methods of modern formal semantics\, along with a discussion of its place within the wider study of language research. Formal semantics models will be compared with cognitive models of language\, more briefly\, with computational models. The lecture will also address the question of how language is related to broader cognitive abilities. \nMichael Glanzberg is a distinguished professor at Rutgers University (USA) in the departments of cognitive sciences\, philosophy\, and linguistics\, as well as a board member of the Cognitive Sciences Center at Rutgers University and a prominent theorist of language\, cognitive processes\, and logical-mathematical reasoning and their philosophical foundations. He has conducted internationally acclaimed research that has resulted in important publications in various fields on model theory\, language\, and formal semantics.\nHe is one of the leading researchers of meaning from the perspective of mathematical analysis. In the field of modern formal semantics\, Prof. Glanzberg is one of the most competent experts in truth theories and model theory in the world. In 2018\, together with J. S. Beale and D. Ripley\, he wrote the monograph “Formal Theories of Truth” (Oxford UP)\, which is one of the basic sources in the field of definitions of truth in modern science. Prof. Glanzberg is also the editor of the Oxford Handbook of Truth (Oxford UP)\, a major resource for linguists\, philosophers\, mathematicians\, psychologists\, and other researchers interested in formal questions of truth\, which depend on language use and mathematical analysis.\nHe has previously been a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, the University of Toronto\, the University of California\, Davis\, and Northwestern University.\n\nThe guest lecture is organized within the framework of the Language Technology Initiative project with the support and involvement of the Laboratory for Perceptual and Cognitive Systems at the Faculty of Science and Technology.
