The MSc programme will have strong links to the Computer Science
Department at King's College, and it will offer courses in
-formal syntax
-formal semantics
-computational approaches to pragmatics and discourse theory
-logic programming for natural language processing
-mathematical linguistics and formal properties of grammar
-non-monotonic logic for natural language.
The programme is a one-year full time MSc course designed primarily
