招待講演@LENLS7

国際会議 拙論

11月に東京で開催される数理言語学・形式意味論のワークショップ "Logic and Engineering of Natural Language Semantics 7" (LENLS7) において、あの天才のAlexandru Baltag氏と並び、invited speakerとして講演をさせていただくことになりました。内容は、現在の所、曖昧性（砂山のパラドックス）もしくは循環性（嘘つきのパラドックス）の、非古典論理（ファジイ論理もしくは矛盾許容論理）での解決の話を扱う予定です。
proceedingsを公刊する国際ワークショップに講演者として招待していただくのは生まれて初めてで、非常に光栄です。今から緊張しています。

FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

Logic and Engineering of Natural Language Semantics 7 (LENLS7)

Workshop Site : Campus Innovation Center Tokyo, Minato-ku, Tokyo
Dates : November 18-19, 2010
Workshop URL : http://www.is.ocha.ac.jp/~bekki/lenls/


Chair: Eric McCready (Aoyama Gakuin University)


Invited Speakers:
Alexandru Baltag (Oxford)
Shunsuke Yatabe (National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST))


LENLS is an annual international workshop focusing on formal semantics and pragmatics. It will be held as one of workshops of JSAI isAI 2010, sponsored by JSAI. 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
  • 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 related to the "Formal Structures of Salience". Salience is a concept with broad application in linguistics and philosophy; in recent years, it has played a role in the analysis of phenomena including focus, particles, and anaphora resolution within linguistics, and in philosophy it has been used in analyses of various kinds of context dependency (e.g. domain restriction and vagueness), as well as in the analysis of convention. However, in many cases, the concept of salience is left as a primitive. Submissions discussing foundational issues in the understanding of salience would be welcomed. We especially hope for contributions with a formal orientation.


Submissions:
Abstracts should be between 2 and 4 pages in length and in pdf format. Submissions should be sent to:

lenls7submission@gmail.com

The proceedings of the workshop will be available at the conference site for registered persons. We also plan to publish a selection of the accepted papers as a portion of a volume in the `Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence' series (Springer Verlag).


Important dates:
Abstract submission deadline : August 15, 2010
Notification of acceptance : September 15, 2010
Deadline for camera-ready copy : October 15, 2010
LENLS7 : November 18-19, 2010
