In theoretical linguistics, monotonici ty properties are relevant to a large array of sem antic phenomena  and to the presence of pragmatic inferences such as scalar implicatures. In logic a nd mathematics, monotonicity guarantees the existe nce of fixed points and the well-formedness of ind uctive definitions. Also, monotonicity is closely tied to reasoning, in formal as well as natural la nguages. Recent logical and linguistic work on mon otonicity has also found its way into computation systems for natural language processing and cognit ive models of human reasoning. The goal of our wor kshop is to bring together researchers working on monotonicity or related properties, from different fields and perspectives. The first day of the wo rkshop were to be devoted to two tutorials: 1. Ja kub Szymanik (University of Amsterdam): Monotonici ty in Logic 2. Gennaro Chierchia (Harvard Univers ity): Monotonicity in Language The remaining two days were to consist of invited and contributed ta lks. Due to the ongoing pandemic, the organizers have decided to reschedule TLLM 2020 online in Dec ember. The Programme Committee cordially invites all researchers to submit their papers for present ation. Abstracts are not to exceed two pages of A4 or letter-sized paper, including data and referen ces, preferably with 1? (2.54cm) margins on all si des, set in a font no smaller than 11 points.

Monotonic ity, in various forms, is a pervasive phenomenon i n logic, linguistics, and related areas. In theore tical linguistics, monotonicity properties are rel evant to a large array of semantic phenomena  and to the presence of pragmatic inferences such as scalar implicatures. In logic and mathematics, monotonicity guarantees the existence of fixed poi nts and the well-formedness of inductive definitio ns. Also, monotonicity is closely tied to reasonin g, in formal as well as natural languages. Recent logical and linguistic work on monotonicity has al so found its way into computation systems for natu ral language processing and cognitive models of hu man reasoning. The goal of our workshop is to brin g together researchers working on monotonicity or related properties, from different fields and pers pectives.
