Abstract

LENLS (Logic and Engineering of Natural Language Semantics) is an annual international workshop focusing on dynamic aspects of the formal treatment of natural languages. This workshop is organized as a satellite of the Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence Conference. The fifth LENLS was held at Asahikawa Tokiwa Citizens Hall, Asahikawa, Japan, June 9-10 in 2008. The special topic of the 2008 conference was the interactive turn in formal pragmatics, which takes a formal approach to the interactive quality of pragmatic meanings via various formal approaches. However, the focus of this workshop also included more general topics such as the following:

- Formal Semantics of Natural Language (especially dynamic approaches)

- Dynamic Syntax and Labeled Deductive Systems of Natural Language

- Dynamic (Epistemic) Logics and Natural Language Semantics/Pragmatics

- Coalgebraic Logics and Natural Language Semantics/Pragmatics

- Category-Theoretic Semantics of Natural Language

- Type-Theoretic Semantics of Natural Language

- Substructural Logics of Natural Language

- Extensions of Lambek Calculi including Combinatory Category Grammars and Type-Logical Grammars

- Other Mathematical Theories of Information Structures of Natural Language Discourse

- Natural Language Processing based on Dynamic Semantics, Dynamic Syntax, or Formal Pragmatics.
