LENLS is an annual international workshop on formal syntax, semantics and 
pragmatics. It will be held **online** as one of the workshops of the JSAI 
International Symposia on AI (JSAI-isAI2020) sponsored by the Japan 
Society for Artificial Intelligence (JSAI).


Aims and Topics:

We invite submissions to this year's workshop on topics in formal
syntax, semantics and pragmatics, and related fields, including but in no way
limited to the following:

- Formal syntax, semantics and pragmatics of natural language
- Model-theoretic and/or proof-theoretic semantics of natural language
- Computational Semantics
- Game-theoretic/Bayesian approaches to pragmatics
- Nonclassical Logic and its relation to natural language (especially 
Substructural/Fuzzy/Categorical/Topological logics)
- Formal Philosophy of language
- Scientific methodology and/or experimental design for linguistics


Submissions:
============
Abstracts (anonymous, up to 2 pages, including figures and references,
A4 size, with 12 point font) must be submitted electronically in PDF format at:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lenls17

extended abstract or a full paper (up to 14 pages) before the workshop. 
The proceedings of the workshop will be available online.

Selected Papers:

A selection of the accepted/invited full papers will be published as a portion of
a volume "JSAI-isAI selected papers" from Springer's Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) series.

Abstract submission deadline: September 12, 2020
Notification of acceptance: October 4, 2020

Code of Conduct:
================
All attendees, speakers, sponsors and volunteers at our conference are 
required to agree with the following code of conduct. Organisers will 
enforce this code throughout the event. We expect cooperation from all 
participants to help ensure a safe environment for everybody.

[The Quick Version] Our conference is dedicated to providing a 
harassment-free conference experience for everyone, regardless of gender, 
gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, 
physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, or religion (or lack 
thereof). We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any 
form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any conference 
venue, including talks, workshops, parties, Twitter and other online 
media. Conference participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or 
expelled from the conference without a refund at the discretion of the 
conference organisers.

[The Less Quick Version] Harassment includes offensive verbal comments 
related to gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual 
orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, 
religion, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, 
stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained 
disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and 
unwelcome sexual attention. Participants asked to stop any harassing 
behavior are expected to comply immediately. If a participant engages in 
harassing behavior, the conference organisers may take any action they 
deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the 
conference with no refund. If you are being harassed, notice that someone 
else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact the 
following member of conference staff immediately: Elin McCready / Daisuke 
Bekki Conference staff will be happy to help participants contact 
hotel/venue security or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or 
otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the 
duration of the conference. We value your attendance. We expect 
participants to follow these rules at conference and workshop venues and 
conference-related social events.
