WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

Type theory has been a central area of research in logic, the semantics
of programming languages, and natural language semantics over the past
fifty years.  Recent developments in type theory have been used to
reconstruct the formal foundations of computational semantics (Ranta
(1994), Fox and Lappin (2005), Ginzburg (2012), Retoré (2012), Cooper
(2012), Cooper et al. (2013)). These theories are generally intensional
and polymorphic in character, and they allow for structured,
fine-grained encoding of information across a diverse set of linguistic
domains.

The work in this area has opened up new approaches to modelling the
relations between, inter alia, syntax, semantic interpretation,
dialogue, inference, and cognition, from a largely proof theoretic
perspective.

The workshop provides a forum for the presentation of leading edge
research in this fast developing sub-field of computational linguistics.
To the best of our knowledge it will be the first major conference on
this topic hosted by the ACL.
