Call Deadline: 03-Jul-2016 

Meeting Description:

Presentation:

LACL'2016 is the 20th anniversary of the international conference on Logical
Aspects of Computational Linguistics that was launched in Nancy in 1996.  The
scope of this conference is the use of type theoretic, proof theoretic and
model theoretic methods for describing natural language syntax, semantics and
pragmatics as well as the implementation of natural language processing
software relying on logical formalisation. As 20 years ago LACL will also take
place at Loria in Nancy.

Scope:

Computer scientists, linguists, mathematicians and philosophers are invited to
present their work on the use of logical methods in computational linguistics
and natural language processing, in natural language analysis, generation or
acquisition.

Topics of either theoretical or applied interest include, but are not limited
to:

- Logical foundation of syntactic formalisms, in particular categorial
grammars and other type theoretic grammars, parsing as deduction, model
theoretic syntax
- Logical frameworks for lexical semantics
- Logical semantics of sentences, discourse and dialogue
- Applications of these logical frameworks to natural language processing
tasks (automated analysis, generation, acquisition, textual inference);
- Applications of the logical formalisation of language faculty to cognitive
sciences.

Invited Speakers:

Maria ALONI (ILLC, Universiteit van Amsterdam)
Johan BOS (Rijksuniversiteit Groningen)
Shalom LAPPIN (Göteborgs universitet)
Louise McNALLY (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona)

Final Call for Papers:

Extended submission deadline (July 3 2016)

Submissions:

Articles should be written in the LaTeX format of LNCS by Springer (see

Submission is exclusively admitted electronically, in PDF format, through the
EasyChair system. The submission site is
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lacl2016.

It is expected that each accepted paper be presented at the meeting by one of
its authors.

Proceedings:

Accepted papers will be published as a volume of the FoLLI subline of Lecture
Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Links to the edited volumes of the previous
editions are availabe at
http://lacl.gforge.inria.fr/lacl-2016/index-previous_editions.html.

This year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $79,000. This money 
will go to help keep the List running by supporting all of our 
Student Editors for the coming year.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
