Logical Aspects of Computational Linguistics: 5th International Conference, LACL 2005, Bordeaux, France, April 28-30, 2005, Proceedings / Edition 1

by Philippe Blache, Edward Stabler, Joan Busquets, Richard Moot

Overview

Edited in collaboration with FoLLI, the Association of Logic, Language and Information, this book inaugurates the new FoLLI LNAI subline. It constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Logical Aspects of Computational Linguistics, LACL 2005, held in Bordeaux, France in April 2005.

The 25 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from over 40 submissions. The papers address a wide range of logical and formal methods in computational linguistics with studies of particular grammar formalisms and their computational properties, language engineering, and traditional topics about the syntax/semantics interface.
