aspects of the intersection of Natural Language Understanding with Logic
Programming and (Logic) Constraint Programming, including, but not limited
to, the following:

- syntax                                - parsing
- semantics                             - generation
- phonetics                             - language understanding
- phonology                             - speech analysis/synthesis
- morphology                            - computational lexicons
- discourse                             - electronic dictionaries
