music doesn’t just have a syntax but also a semantics, and a toy model was proposed to explain how musical meaning could be formally analyzed (Schlenker 2017). Second, the program of a formal analysis of syntax and semantics was extended to dance, with detailed studies of grouping structure in ballet-like movements (Charnavel 2019) and of referential relations in narrative dance (Patel-Grosz et al. 2018). </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:14pt;line-height:1.38"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-style:italic;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;font-size:13.5pt;line-height:inherit;font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;color:rgb(27,27,27)">This workshop aims to bring together researchers that seek to develop this research program, be it for music, for dance, for their interaction, or for the interaction between music and other visual narratives (e.g. film).  We particularly welcome work that combines rich data (be they introspective, experimental or corpus-based) with explicit formal analyses. Datasets may involve artificial examples/stimuli or case studies of ‘real’ music or dance. Connections between formal syntactic or semantic approaches and traditional musicology or dance theory are also welcome. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:14pt;line-height:1.38"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-style:italic;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;font-size:13.5pt;line-height:inherit;font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;color:rgb(27,27,27)">Anonymized abstracts (see below for submission guidelines) should contain a description of the relevant background, research design, experimental or formal methods, theoretical arguments and results. </span><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-style:italic;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:700;font-stretch:inherit;font-size:13.5pt;line-height:inherit;font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;color:rgb(27,27,27)">Authors are encouraged to provide hyperlinks to relevant audiovisual examples. </span></p><br style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:14pt;line-height:1.38"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-style:italic;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:700;font-stretch:inherit;font-size:13.5pt;line-height:inherit;font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;color:rgb(27,27,27)">Keynote speakers</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:14pt;line-height:1.38"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-style:italic;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;font-size:13.5pt;line-height:inherit;font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;color:rgb(27,27,27)">Isabelle Charnavel (Harvard University/University of Geneva)</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;line-height:1.38"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-style:italic;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;font-size:13.5pt;line-height:inherit;font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;color:rgb(27,27,27)">Markus Neuwirth (Anton Bruckner University Linz) </span></p><br style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;line-height:1.38"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-style:italic;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;font-size:13.5pt;line-height:inherit;font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;color:rgb(27,27,27)">Pritty Patel-Grosz (University of Oslo)</span></p><br style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:14pt;line-height:1.38"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-style:italic;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;font-size:13.5pt;line-height:inherit;font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;color:rgb(27,27,27)">Philippe Schlenker (Institut Jean-Nicod, CNRS/NYU)</span></p><br style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:14pt;line-height:1.38"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-style:italic;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;font-size:13.5pt;line-height:inherit;font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;color:rgb(27,27,27);text-decoration-line:underline">Abstract submission information</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:14pt;line-height:1.38"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-style:italic;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;font-size:13.5pt;line-height:inherit;font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;color:rgb(27,27,27)">Anonymized abstracts should be submitted by email to <a href="mailto:lpcs@lu.lv" targ
