of natural languages.

Themes of interest include, but are not limited to,

* model-theoretic and proof-theoretic methods in linguistics;
* constraint-based and resource-sensitive approaches to grammar;

* logical aspects of linguistic structure;
* mathematical foundations of statistical approaches to linguistic analysis.
