LACL conference series
---------------------
LACL-2005 is the 5th edition of a series of international conferences
on logical and formal methods in computational linguistics. It
addresses in particular the use of proof theoretic and model theoretic
methods for describing natural language syntax and semantics, as well
as the implementation of natural language processing software relying
on such models. A selection of the 1995 articles appeared in a special
issue of the Journal of Logic, Language and Information (7:4,
1998). The proceedings of the international conferences LACL`96,
LACL`97, LACL`98 et LACL`2001 appeared in the series Lecture Notes in
Artificial Intelligence (volumes 1328, 1582, 2014, 2099) published by
Springer.

Linguistic Sub-field: General Linguistics
Call Deadline: 15-Nov-2004
Meeting Description:
The conference will consist of a General Session, a Parasession and a
Special Session.
GENERAL SESSION
The General Session will cover all areas of linguistic interest. We
encourage proposals from diverse theoretical frameworks and also
welcome papers on language-related topics from disciplines such as
Anthropology, Cognitive Science, Literature, Neuroscience and
Psychology.
Invited speakers:
TBA
PARASESSION: ''Prosodic Variation and Change''
The Parasession aims to explore synchronic variation and historical
change in all areas of prosody, including syllable structure, metrical
structure, stress, accent, tone, and intonation. We invite
submissions addressing pathways and general principles of prosodic
change. In addition, we invite papers on prosodic variation, broadly
construed: across related languages and dialects, within an
individual's grammar, and within speech communities. Papers from a
wide range of perspectives are encouraged.
Invited speakers:
José Hualde, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
TBA
SPECIAL SESSION: ''Languages of West Africa''
The Special Session will discuss languages of West Africa (from
Cameroon west). We welcome submissions on all aspects of West African
languages, including syntax, semantics, phonology, phonetics,
morphology, pragmatics, historical issues, and sociolinguistics. We
particularly encourage papers on minority and understudied languages,
language contact, and cross-linguistic comparison.
Invited speakers:
Denis Creissels, Université Lumière Lyon 2
Paul Newman, Indiana University, Bloomington
Russell Schuh, University of California, Los Angeles
