               THIRD CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS AND DEADLINE EXTENSION
                        (to 24.03)
 
 
PRESENTATION
 
LACL'2014 is the 8th international conference
on logical and formal methods in computational linguistics. This conference
addresses the use of type theoretic, 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. It will be held at
IRIT, Toulouse, France, from 18 to 20 June 2014 (with support
from IRIT, Université Paul Sabatier et INP de Toulouse)
 
Scope:
 
Computer scientists, linguists, mathematicians and philosophers are
invited to present their work on the use of logical methods in
computational linguistics and natural language processing, in natural
language analysis, generation or acquisition.
 
Topics of either theoretical or applied interest include, but are not limited to:
 
    * logical foundation of syntactic formalisms
          o categorial grammars
          o minimalist grammars
          o dependency grammars
          o tree adjoining grammars
          o model theoretic syntax
          o formal language theory for natural language processing
          o data-driven approaches
    * logics for semantics of lexical items, sentences, discourse and dialog
          o discourse theories
          o Montague semantics
          o compositionality
          o dynamic logics
          o game semantics
          o situation semantics
          o generative lexicon
          o categorical semantics
    * applications of these models to natural language processing
          o software for natural language analysis
          o software for acquiring linguistic resources
          o software for natural language generation
          o software for information extraction
          o inference tasks
          o evaluation
          o scalability
 
 
SUBMISSIONS and PROCEEDINGS*
 
Articles should be written in the LaTeX format of LNCS by
Springer (see authors instructions at
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0)
and may consist of up to 12 pages of content (including figures, bibliography, possible appendices). In exceptional cases by prior agreement
with program committee a paper up to 16 pages may be considered.
It is expected that each accepted paper be presented at
the meeting by one of its authors.
 
Submission is exclusively admitted electronically, in PDF format, through the EasyChair system. The submission site is
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lacl2014
 
PROCEEDINGS
 
Accepted papers will be published as a
volume of the FoLLI subline of Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(LNCS) by Springer (http://www.springer.com/lncs).
 
/*/ Instructions for submissions to CSLP 2014 are given at the site of the workshop.
 
Invited speakers:
 
 Prof. Zhaohui Luo,  Computer Science Department, Royal Holloway, University of London, U.K.
 
Prof. Michael Moortgat,  Department of Language, Literature and Communication, Utrecht University, the Netherlands
 
Prof. Reinhard Muskens, Department of Philosophy, Tilburg University, the Netherlands
 
PREVIOUS EDITIONS
 
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, LACL'2001, LACL'2005 LACL'2011 appeared in the series Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (volumes 1328, 1582, 2014,
2099, 3492, 6736), and the proceedings of LACL 2012 in Lacture Notes
in Computer Science (volume 7351) published by Springer.
 
 
 
IMPORTANT DATES
 
Paper submission deadline: March 24, 2014
Notification of acceptance: April 5, 2014
Camera ready copies due: April 15, 2014
Conference dates: June 18-20, 2014
 
INSCRIPTION FEES
 
Exact amount can be fixed only after the organizers will have better estimation of the number of participants. We expect to keep it at the level of approximately 300 euros (for LACL only) and 100 euros (for workshop only) with usual reduced rates for students and participation in both events.
