Meeting Description:
Co-located with the CSLP 2014,
8th International Workshop on Constraint
Solving and Language Processing
http://control.ruc.dk/CSLP2014
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 18-20 June
2014.
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
2nd Call for Papers:
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:
- Categorial grammars
- Minimalist grammars
- Dependency grammars
- Tree adjoining grammars
- Model theoretic syntax
- Formal language theory for natural language
processing
- Data-driven approaches
Logics for Semantics of Lexical Items,
Sentences, Discourse and Dialog:
- Discourse theories
- Montague semantics
- Compositionality
- Dynamic logics
- Game semantics
- Situation semantics
- Generative lexicon
- Categorical semantics
Applications of These Models to Natural
Language Processing:
- Software for natural language analysis
- Software for acquiring linguistic
resources
- Software for natural language generation
- Software for information extraction
- Inference tasks
- Evaluation
- Scalability
Submissions:
Articles should be written in the LaTeX
format-f 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

Instructions for submissions to CSLP 2014 are
given at the site of the
workshop.
Proceedings:
Accepted papers will be published as a volume
of the FoLLI subline of
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) by
Springer
(
