Right from the start in the 1950ties, there have been strong links with computer science, logic, and many areas of mathematics - one can think of Chomsky's contributions to the theory of formal languages and automata, or Lambek's logical modeling of natural language syntax. The workshop assesses the place of logic, mathematics, and computer science in present day computational linguistics. It intends to be a forum for presenting new results as well as work in progress.</div><div class="gmail_signature">--------------------------------</div><div class="gmail_signature"><br></div><div class="gmail_signature">SCOPE</div><div class="gmail_signature">==</div><div class="gmail_signature">The workshop focuses mainly on logical approaches to computational processing of natural language, and on the applicability of methods and techniques from the study of artificial languages (programming/logic) in computational linguistics. We invite participation and submissions from other relevant approaches too, especially if they can inspire new work and approaches.</div><div class="gmail_signature"><br></div><div
