2nd Call for Papers:

Aims and Topics:

LENLS is an annual international workshop on formal syntax, semantics and
pragmatics. It will be held as one of the workshops of the 8th JSAI

sponsored by the Japan Society for Artificial Intelligence (JSAI) 
(https://www.ai-gakkai.or.jp/isai/).

We invite submissions to this year's workshop on topics in formal syntax,
semantics and pragmatics, and related fields, including but in no way limited
to the following:

- Formal syntax, semantics and pragmatics of natural language
- Model-theoretic and/or proof-theoretic semantics of natural language
- Computational Semantics
- Game-theoretic/Bayesian approaches to pragmatics
- Nonclassical Logic and its relation to natural language (especially
Substructural/Fuzzy/Categorical/Topological logics)
- Formal Philosophy of language
- Scientific methodology and/or experimental design for linguistics

The first day of LENLS will include an Unshared Task on Theory and System
analysis with FraCaS, MultiFraCaS and JSeM Test Suites, for which there are
more specific submission details at
http://www.compling.jp/fracas_task/index.html.

Submissions:

Abstracts (anonymous, up to 4 pages, including figures and references, A4
size, with 12 point font) must be submitted electronically in PDF format at:

(10-14 pages) before the workshop. The online proceedings of the workshop will
be available at the conference site.

Selected Papers:

We also plan to publish a selection of the accepted/invited papers as a
portion of a volume ''JSAI-isAI selected papers'', which will be published
from 'Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence' series (Springer Verlag).
