Postdoctoral position in semantics, Amsterdam (The Netherlands), Deadline: 24 Oct 2020

Postdoctoral researcher in Semantics:
Linguistic Interpretation as Abduction

Faculty of Science
Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC)
University of Amsterdam

This 3-year postdoc position is part of the NWO Open
Competition project 'A Sentence Uttered Makes a World
Appear---Natural Language Interpretation as Abductive Model
Generation'. The successful applicant will join the group of
Reinhard Muskens. The aim of the project is to explore how
semantic values are assigned to natural language expressions
in a compositional way and how the resulting values,
represented as logical expressions, are subsequently
enriched by means of abductive reasoning. The latter is
studied in a tableaux setting.
