Meeting Description:

LACL 2016 20th anniversary edition
Logical Aspects of Computational Linguistics
LORIA Nancy, December 5-7 2016
http://lacl.gforge.inria.fr/

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)
