LENLS is an annual international workshop focusing on formal semantics
and pragmatics. It will be held as one of the workshops of JSAI isAI 2011,
sponsored by The Japan Society for Artificial Intelligence (JSAI).
Call For Papers
We invite submissions to this year's workshop on topics in formal
semantics and pragmatics, and related fields, including but in no way
limited to the following:
- Dynamic syntax/semantics/pragmatics of natural language
- Categorical/topological/coalgebraic approaches for natural language
syntax/semantics/pragmatics
- Logic and its relation to natural language and linguistic reasoning
(especially dynamic logics)
- Type-theoretic approaches to natural language
- Formal Philosophy of language
- Formal pragmatics (especially game- and utility-theoretic approaches)
- Substructural expansion of Lambek Lambda Calculi
- Many-valued/Fuzzy and other non-classical logics and natural language
This year we especially welcome submissions connected to the theme of
"Where is dynamic semantics now?". Flavours of dynamic semantics (world
updating, assignment changing, etc.) have been broadly applied to solve
problems in linguistics (notably anything related to anaphora) and
philosophy (e.g., foundational issues of context, the role of variables)
and have prompted the development of a diverse range of frameworks with
replicable formal results. However in recent years direct appeals to
the dynamic metaphor have been waning, as has the explicit development
of novel systems, or even refinements to or mergings of older systems.
Has dynamic semantics been so successful in solving its problems that
all that remains for discussion are implementational differences among
established parameters, or have debates simply shifted to new issues?
Either way now seems an apt time to take stock and question where the
decades of research have taken us and where we might hope this legacy to
send us in the future.
On the 3rd December, there will also be special tutorial lectures
at the workshop venue by Frank Veltman (University of Amsterdam)
and Eric McCready (Aoyama Gakuin University).
Submissions:
Abstracts (4-6 pages, including figures, bibliography, possible apendices)
must be submitted electronically in PDF format at:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lenls8
When his/her abstract is accepted, the author is expected to submit a
full paper (10-14 pages) before the workshop. The proceedings of the
workshop will be available at the conference site for registered persons.
Selected Papers:
We also plan to publish a selection of the accepted/invited papers
as a portion of a volume "JSAI-isAI2011 selected papers", which
will be published from `Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence'
series (Springer Verlag).
