============

ACG at 10
ten years of Abstract Categorial Grammars
at LaBRI: 7-9 December 2011, Bordeaux.

http://www.labri.fr/perso/salvati/workshop/acg@10.html


Abstract Categorial Grammars (ACGs), and λ-grammars have been
simultaneously introduced ten years ago in two papers respectively by
Philippe de Groote and Reinhard Muskens. These proposals were made so as
to give an elegant modelisation of the interface between syntax and
semantics. They ally the view of Richard Montague for the semantic
interpretation of natural language to the view of Haskell Curry that
distinguishes the tectogrammatics (the deep structure) from the
phenogrammatics (the linearization yielding the surface structure). ACGs
and λ-grammars implement these ideas by means of very few mathematical
primitives. They therefore offer an easy and powerful way of both
modeling natural language and exploring the mathematical properties of
the interface between syntax and semantics

This workshop is taking the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the
articles about ACGs and λ-grammars so as to gather researchers
interested in the topic, review the results obtained in the past decade
and draw the lines of the future research.

The workshop is open to everyone interested in ACGs, λ-grammars and
related topics, and more broadly to anyone interested in the mathematics
of language and natural language semantics.
