After summerschools in Groningen (1989), Saarbruecken (1990), Leuven
(1991), Colchester (1992), Lisbon (1993), Copenhagen (1994), and
Barcelona (1995), the next summerschool will be held in Prague, Czech
Republic, from August 12 until August 23, 1996. Alike the other
summerschools, the main focus will be the interface between logic,
linguistics, and computation, particularly where it concerns the
modelling of human linguistic and cognitive abilities. As such, the
programme includes courses, workshops and symposia covering a variety
of topics within six areas of interest: Logic, Language, Computation,
Logic and Computation, Computation and Language, and Language and
Logic.

ESSLLI'96 is organized under auspices of FoLLI, the European
Association for Logic, Language and Information.

Alike previous years, there will be organized a symposium on formal
grammar right before ESSLLI'96. A new event at ESSLLI'96 is the
Student Session, a great opportunity for students at MSc/MA or PhD
level to present work in progress. Students are encouraged to submit
papers that show creativity, innovative ideas and promise.

A limited number of grants for students from Central and Eastern
Europe is available.

Early registration fees are ensuing (in Czech Crowns). The deadline
for early registration fees is MARCH 31st, 1996 (your registration
form should be mailed before, or on, that date). For late registration
fees, add 15%.

 Student Kc 5500 (approx. USD 203)
