\n This workshop provides a forum for discussion of recent\n empirical advances in categori al grammar (CG). After the\n revival of int erest in CG in linguistics in the 80s, various\n extensions to the Lambek calculus and an ear ly version of\n Combinatory Categorial Gram mar have been proposed. But the\n fundament al question of whether CG constitutes an adequate\ n linguistic theory still seems to be wide open. Moreover, there\n are now numerous va riants of CG, both in the TLCG tradition\n and in CCG. Which of these theories constitutes th e most\n adequate version of an empirical t heory of natural language?\n
