  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_.
