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 includes, 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
