Courses, both introductory and advanced, workshops and panel discussions cover a wide variety of topics within six areas of interest: Logic, Computation, Language, Logic and Computation, Computation and Language, Language and Logic. Previous summer schools have been highly successful, attracting around 500 students from Europe and elsewhere. The school has developed into an important meeting place and forum for discussion for students and researchers interested in the interdisciplinary study of Logic, Language and Information. ESSLLI-98 is organized under the auspices of the European Association for Logic, Language and Information (FoLLI). The ESSLLI-98 Programme Committee invites proposals for introductory and advanced courses, workshops and panels for the 10th annual Summer School on a wide range of topics in the following fields: Logic Language Computation Language and Logic Logic and Computation Language and Computation In addition to courses, workshops and panels, there will be a Student Session. A Call for Papers for the Student Session will be distributed separately. While the Programme Committee welcomes proposals in all of the above areas, for advanced courses, workshops and panel discussions it would especially like to encourage proposals that emphasize cognitive aspects.
