The topic of Representational Format deals with the different ways that information can be encoded. The sentence 'a cat is on the mat' and a picture of a cat on a mat both represent the cat as being on the mat, but they do so in different ways. What is the nature of this difference? Are there only two ways to represent, or more? How do various cases, such as analog clocks, mental imagery, iconic gestures in sign language, or retinopy in the brain, fit in? This workshop brings together speakers from Philosophy, Psychology, and Linguistics to address this important topic.
