- (27 Oct)
This meeting is held by our Young CAS Fellow Vadim Kimmelman (UiB).
For invited participants only.
The workshop is devoted to discussing ongoing research on two issues concerning classifier predicates: the choice of classifier handshape in case of synonymous classifiers, and the meaning contribution of the components of classifier predicates.
