                   Tenth Annual CSLI Workshop on
                 Logic, Language, and Computation

                     May 25-27, 2001
          Cordura Hall 100 - CSLI, Stanford University

           <http://www-linguistics.stanford.edu/llc/01>

For each of the last nine years, CSLI has hosted a Workshop on Logic,
Language, and Computation.  The program has involved a lively mix of
topics at the interfaces of logic, computer science, linguistics,
philosophy, and
psychology.  As has become tradition by now, the program includes
contributions by both established researchers and newcomers to the
field.
The workshop is open to all.

Conference Schedule

Talks are 30 minutes with a 15-minute question and answer session.  The
breakfasts, lunches, and dinner are free to all who register.
Registration is free.
