Also we've heard the PMMP program is looking for a few more good mentors, so if you are attending SALT 35 in person next week and might be willing to be a mentor, we encourage you to sign up even though it's past the deadline! saltconf.github.io/salt35/pump/

Especially big thanks to the 175 reviewers who look time out of their busy schedules to engage with everyone's work, we know reviewing, especially for SALT, is not always easy!

Hey semanticists and friends: we just posted decisions for SALT 35 (with a technical hiccup in which reviews took an extra 20 min or so to be visible, sorry!!) & there was some amazing stuff, so we are hoping that whether or not you will be presenting that you will consider joining us this May!

Heading out for SALT34 tomorrow, where I'll be presenting joint work with Vera Hohaus on "Scope, monotonicity and maximal informativity cannot be underestimated! A compositional analysis of an apparent linguistic illusion." Looking forward to it!

The SALT34 review deadline has now passed, but we’re still waiting on about a quarter of the reviews, with almost 2/3 papers missing at least one review. If you haven’t done so already, please get your reviews in!

SALT34 reviewing assignments have been made. Reviews are due Feb. 10, and we are targeting Feb. 26 for notification of decisions.

Semantics and Linguistic Theory @saltconf.bsky.social · Dec 1

The main technical difficulty that submitters have experienced is that it can take 12 hours for an OpenReview account to be activated. If you plan to submit and haven't made an OpenReview account, please do so as soon as possible in order to ensure that the account is active before the new deadline.

Semantics and Linguistic Theory @saltconf.bsky.social · Dec 1

Due to technical difficulties experienced by some submitters, the submission deadline has been extended to Monday, December 4, 2023, 11:59 pm anywhere on earth (UTC-12).
