As part of the research project Analytic Philosophy in Visegrad Countries, the University of Warsaw is pleased to announce a three-day workshop titled “Truth, Use-Conditions, Hyperintensionality: Visegrad Inspirations in Philosophy of Language”. The Visegrad (V4) region—Czechia, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia—has shaped analytic philosophy of language in foundational yet often underrecognized ways. Some contributions, such as Tarski’s work on semantics, are widely known; others—early work on inferentialism, situation semantics, and hyperintensionality—remain less familiar, and many are still underexplored. In fact, across nearly every area of contemporary philosophy of language, V4 philosophers have developed distinctive ideas, This includes original works on proper names, indexicals, quotation, context-sensitivity, attitude reports, interrogatives, speech act theory, conditionals, pronouns, propositional content, and logical form. This is not only a historical legacy: philosophy of language in the V4 region is a vibrant and increasingly visible research ecosystem today. The workshop aims to further raise the international profile of V4 work and to provide a shared forum where current V4 research can meet international, V4-inspired research.
