International
Conference on Linguistics and Epistemology
Department of Philosophy, University of Aberdeen, Scotland, UK.
Saturday/Sunday, May 12/13 2007

The overall purpose of this conference is to bring together outstanding researchers working in this particular area of epistemology to discuss the validity of the linguistic method and bring it into actual practice.
The following epistemologists will present keynote lectures:
Responses to the keynote lectures will be given by:
