The LACL conferences
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first edition of the LACL conference, which was held in Nancy in September
1996, was very successful.This proves that there is a growing interest
in the use of logic in natural language processing, both for syntactic and
semantic models. LACL'97 will continue to bring together linguists, logicians,
philosophers and computer scientists around this theme in order to present the
latest results and to discuss the different approaches.
