[apologies for multiple postings]

Workshop on Natural Language and Computer Science  (NLCS '13)
http://www.indiana.edu/~iulg/nlcs.html

A workshop to be held at LiCS'13: June 28, 2013
New Orleans, Louisiana

Endorsed by the Association for Computational Linguistics Special Interest 
Group on Computational Semantics.


AIMS AND SCOPE

Formal tools coming from logic and category theory are important in both 
natural language semantics and in
computational semantics. Moreover, work on these tools borrows heavily 
from all areas of theoretical computer
science. In the other direction, applications having to do with natural 
language has inspired developments on
the formal side. The workshop invites papers on both topics. Specific 
topics include, but are not limited to:

  * logic for semantics of lexical items, sentences, discourse and dialog
  * continuations in natural language semantics
  * formal tools in textual inference, such as logics for natural language 
inference
  * applications of category theory in semantics
  * linear logic in semantics
  * formal approaches to unifying data-driven and declarative approaches to 
semantics
