Logical Aspects of Computational Linguistics

Nancy, 23-25 september 1996

The full version of the preliminary call for papers is available in
two forms: plain-text and LaTeX respectively.

There has been a growing interest in the use of logic in natural language processing, both for syntactical and semantical models. Some recent examples include logical deduction as a basis for parsing / generation, the use of non-commutative linear logic as a syntactical model, the relation between categorial grammars, CFG and TAG, natural language interfaces for automatic theorem proving, unification for anaphora resolution, and linear logic semantics for LFG.

This workshop is aimed at bringing together linguists, logicians, philosophers and computer scientists in order to present the latest results in these areas and to discuss the different approaches. See the full version of this announcement for a nonexclusive list of topics
