<div class="">AIMS AND SCOPE </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Formal tools coming from logic and category theory are important in both natural language semantics and in computational semantics. Moreover, work on these tools borrows heavily from all areas of theoretical computer science. In the other direction,
applications having to do with natural language has inspired developments on the formal side. The workshop invites papers on both topics. Specific topics includes, but are not limited to: </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">• logic for semantics of lexical items, sentences, discourse and dialog </div>
<div class="">• continuations in natural language semantics </div>
<div class="">• formal tools in textual inference, such as logics for natural language inference </div>
<div class="">• applications of category theory in semantics </div>
<div class="">• linear logic in semantics </div>
<div class="">• formal approaches to unifying data-driven and declarative approaches to semantics </div>
