there is a great book-sized draft by Dick Crouch crouch at parc.xerox.com
on "Linear Logic for Linguists". It gives a wonderful introduction to
proof theory (the major motivation for linear logic), very accessible
and well explained, goes on to introduce linear logic and takes you
all the way to linguistic applications.
