\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
\n\ n Logical, mathematical, and computational analyses have tended\n to take precedence o ver empirical ones in the past 30 years in\n CG research. These are all important and very i lluminating,\n but at the same time we may now want to pause and reflect on\n the ques tion of just where we are in terms of empirical\n adequacy. We think that the time is ripe to \n critically scrutinize the empirical cons equences of the\n various formal techniques /frameworks proposed in the\n literature in the past 30 years, as well as ones that are\n being developed at this very moment.\n \n

\n\n We invite su bmissions of anonymous abstracts of up to five\n pages. We welcome any submission whose topi c pertains to the\n empirical adequacy of C G. We expect to allot 45 minutes for\n eac h accepted paper (30 minutes for presentation and 15\n minutes for questions and discussion). Submission deadline:\n February 15, 2015\ n
