Meeting Description:

LENLS is an annual international conference on formal linguistics
(i.e., syntax, semantics and pragmatics), computational linguistics,
the philosophy of language, and related fields, including but not
limited to the following:

- Formal syntax, semantics and pragmatics of natural language
- Model-theoretic and/or proof-theoretic semantics of natural language
- Computational approaches to semantics and pragmatics
- Nonclassical logic and its relation to natural language (e.g.
substructural, fuzzy, categorical, and topological logic)
- Formal philosophy of language
- Scientific methodology and/or experimental design in linguistics

LENLS20 is scheduled to take place in a in-person format (with a
physical presence in Osaka), but with a limited option for a virtual
presence via zoom.

Submissions:
============
Authors are required to choose from one of the following two
submission categories:
[Abstract Only] and [Abstract+Full Paper].  For both categories,
authors must submit abstracts (anonymous, up to 4 pages including
figures and references, A4 size, 12-point font) on original,
unpublished research.  Abstracts must be submitted electronically in
PDF at:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lenls20

Upon acceptance, authors (both categories) are expected to submit
extended abstracts (up to 5 pages) before the workshop.  Note that
abstracts submitted to the [Abstract+Full Paper] category may be
accepted in the [Abstract Only] category (but not vice versa). The
proceedings of the workshop will be made available online, including
extended abstracts (both categories).

Authors submitting to the [Abstract+Full Paper] category are required
to submit a full paper (up to 14 pages) for the post-proceedings
volume after the conference and must agree to review at least one
other full paper.

Selected Papers:
================
LENLS20 is held under the umbrella of The Association for Logic,
Language and Information (FoLLI).
The collection of full papers will be published in the Lecture Notes
in Computer Science (LNCS) series, in accordance with the contract
between Springer Nature Switzerland AG and FoLLI.

Important dates:
================
Abstract submission deadline: Sept. 7, 2023
Notification of acceptance: Oct. 1, 2023
