Meeting Description: 

Co-located with the CSLP 2014,
8th International Workshop on Constraint Solving and Language Processing
http://control.ruc.dk/CSLP2014

LACL'2014 is the 8th international conference on logical and formal methods in computational linguistics. This conference addresses the use of type theoretic, proof theoretic and model theoretic methods for describing natural language syntax and semantics, as well as the implementation of natural language processing software relying on such models. It will be held at IRIT, Toulouse, France, from 18-20 June 2014.

Invited Speakers:

Prof. Zhaohui Luo,  Computer Science Department, Royal Holloway, University of London, U.K.

Prof. Michael Moortgat,  Department of Language, Literature and Communication, Utrecht University, the Netherlands

Prof. Reinhard Muskens, Department of Philosophy, Tilburg University, the Netherlands 

The early registration for LACL 2014 (8th International Conference on Logical Aspects of Computational Linguistics, June 18-20, Toulouse, France) is now open until June 4, 23:59 JST.

Toulouse in the South West of France is the fourth largest city of France and a lively university center. Toulouse offers numerous inexpensive accommodations, including student residences. The participants are on their own in finding accommodation. There is the hotel list of the tourist office and a special list for residences. Of course, there are other ways to find hotels in Toulouse. For scientists on short visits to Toulouse (e.g., for juries or project meetings), we typically choose friendly two-star hotels. LACL 2014 is taking place at IRIT, Paul Sabatier University, close to the 'Université Paul Sabatier' station (metro line B). Hotels in the city center are close to the metro (line B stations there:  Compans-Caffarelli, Jeanne d'Arc, Jean Jaures, Francois Verdier and Carmes).

Fees (early registration):

330 euros (regular), 230 euros (student)

Late registration:

380 euros (regular),  280 euros (student)

Gala dinner: 60 euros.
