Alike the other ESSLLI summerschools, the main focus will be the intersection of the areas between logic, linguistics, and computation, particularly where it concerns the modelling of human linguistic and cognitive abilities. As such, the programme includes courses, workshops and symposia covering a variety of topics within six areas of interest: Logic, Language, Computation, Logic & Computation, Computation & Language, and Language & Logic.
Courses are cast at both introductory and advanced levels. Introductory courses are designed to familiarize students with new fields and do not presuppose any background knowledge, while advanced courses are designed to allow participants to acquire more specialized expertise in areas they are already familiar with. Workshops are chaired by an expert in the field and will provide an opportunity for PhD students and other young researchers to present their work and gain informed feedback and useful contacts. Symposia will typically consist of a series of presentations on a timely topic by people active in the relevant areas. Both workshops and symposia are intended to encourage collaboration and cross-fertilization of ideas by stimulating in-depth discussion of issues which are in the forefront of current research in the field. Besides courses, workshops and symposia, there will also be evening lecturers, in which highly actual topics in research in Logic, Language and Information will be addressed.
A novelty at ESSLLI'96 is the student session. Students are encouraged to submit short papers describing work in progress.
