     Date: Mon, 19 Apr 2004 06:23:42 -0400 (EDT)
    From: ogata <ogatalang.osaka-u.ac.jp>
    Subject: Logic and Engineering of Natural Language Semantics


    Logic and Engineering of Natural Language Semantics Short Title: LENLS

    Date: 31-May-2004 - 01-Jun-2004 Location: Kanazawa, Japan Contact: Norihiro Ogata Contact Email: ogatalang.osaka-u.ac.jp Meeting URL: http://www.lang.osaka-u.ac.jp/~ogata/LENLS.html

    Linguistic Sub-field: Semantics

    Meeting Description:

    Recently, one of the main streams of the formal semantics of natural language and logic has been developing "dynamic semantics." The aim of this workshop is to explore the theory and application of dynamic semantics to natural language. Areas of exploration will include the application of dynamic semantics to natural language semantics, programming languages, natural language processing, and other areas of information engineering.
