3 March 2009, Logic Tea, Daisuke Ikegami

Date & Time: Tuesday 3 March 2009, 17:00-18:00
Speaker: Daisuke Ikegami
Title: Infinite games with imperfect information
Location: Room P.014, Euclides Building, Plantage Muidergracht 24, Amsterdam

4 March 2009, Computational Linguistics Seminar, Remko Scha

Date & Time: Wednesday 4 March 2009, 16:00
Speaker: Remko Scha
Title: Grammars without categories
Location: P.327, Euclides building, Plantage Muidergracht 24, Amsterdam

5-6 March 2009, Games, Logic, Language, and Computation

Date: 5-6 March 2009
Title: Generalized Quantifiers: Formal Semantics Meets Computation and Cognition (GLLC-16)

The workshop will be mostly devoted to generalized quantifier theory and its interrelation with computational and cognitive aspects of language. One major focus will be computational complexity and its interplay with "difficulty" as experienced by subjects in cognitive science. The workshop will combine classical generalized quantifier theory (linguistics and mathematics) with newer generalized quantifier theory (computation and cognition).

12-16 March 2009, 10th Szklarska Poreba Workshop: The Roots of Pragmasemantics, The mountaintop Szrenica, Szklarska Poreba, Poland

Date: 12-16 March 2009
Location: The mountaintop Szrenica, Szklarska Poreba, Poland
Deadline: 15 January 2009

We announce the tenth edition of the workshop that takes linguists, philosophers and logicians to the ski slopes. It will be held March 12-16 2009, on the mountaintop Szrenica, Poland (the same location as every year).

The workshop aims to bring together linguists, philosophers, logicians, and all others interested in the semantics and pragmatics of natural language. This year the theme is Learning - as usual this 'hot topic' should not exclude submissions on other subjects, but talks relating typical Szklarska Poreba concerns to learning are especially welcome. We prefer new and original ideas, even if the material is not fully ripe and the presentation still tentative. Invited Speakers include Paul Boersma, Wojciech Buszkowski, Damir & Malgorzata E. Ćavar and Markus Kracht.
