It addresses in particular the use of 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. 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 et LACL`2001 appeared in the series Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (volumes 1328, 1582, 2014, 2099) published by Springer. Topics ------ 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. * 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 * logic for semantics of lexical items, sentences, discourse and dialog * discourse representation theory * Montague semantics * compositionality * dynamic logic * game semantics * situation semantics * generative lexicon * 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 * question answering and human computer interaction in natural language * evaluation * scalability Submission format and publication --------------------------------- Articles should be written in the LaTeX format of LNCS/LNAI by Springer should not exceed 16 pages (including figures, bibliography, possible apendices). Articles, in PDF format, should be sent by email to lacl@labri.fr. Accepted papers, after revision if needed, will be published as a volume of the LNAI/LNCS series by Springer-Verlag.
