[PT] Special Issue of Studia Logica on Logic and Natural Language: Extended Submission deadline: 4th October, 2010

Ladies and gentlemen,
                      By popular request, the editors have extended the 
submission deadline for the Special Issue of Studia Logica on Logic and 
Natural Language.



Call for papers: special Issue of Studia Logica on

                     Logic and Natural Language

           Extended Submission deadline: 4th October, 2010.


Studia Logica invites contributions to a special issue on "Logic and
Natural Language", edited by Nissim Francez (Technion, Haifa) and Ian
Pratt-Hartmann (University of Manchester). It is envisaged that the
issue will comprise papers in two broad areas: (i) the use of logical
techniques in the presentation and analysis of grammar formalisms;
(ii) investigation of the logical characteristics (expressiveness,
complexity, proof-theory) of natural language.  We specifically,
though not exclusively, invite submissions on the following topics:

- Logical analyses of NL syntax and semantics (e.g. model-theoretic
   syntax, type-logical grammars, abstract categorial grammars)
- The connection between NL, substructural logics and higher-order logics
- Type-theory and NL
- Logics for non-indicative sentences (questions, commands, ...)
- Dynamic logics for discourse
- Logics of plurality (plural predication, plural quantification)
- Logics of ambiguity
- Modal, temporal and spatial logics in NL
- Complexity-and proof-theoretic analysis of fragments of NLs
- Logics capturing valid NL arguments ("natural logics"),
- Criticism of traditional mathematical logic based on arguments
   originating from NL
- Modern formalization of Classical and Mediaeval logics.

Submitted papers should not exceed 25 pages (including bibliography),
formatted according to the Studia Logica LaTeX style (for detailed
instructions, see http://www.studialogica.org/), and should be
accompanied by a title page containing the following information:
paper title, authors' names, email address and telephone number of the
contact author, a short abstract and up to five keywords. Authors'
names should not appear on the paper itself.  Only electronic
submissions will be accepted. The authors should send an email with
subject "Studia Logica Special Issue on Logic and Language" to the
issue editors ([email protected]), with the file of the paper as an
attachment.

The Editor in Chief has recently announced that Studia Logica been
included at the beginning of this year into the reference list
journals of the Mathematical Reviews. This means that papers published
in Studia Logica starting from 2000 are now being seen by the citation
system of the Mathematical Reviews.

(Extended) deadline for submission of manuscripts to the issue editors:
      4th October, 2010.
