Fifth Workshop on Lambda Calculus and Formal Grammar

[Japanese | English]

Workshop held at the National Institute of Informatics
March 24-25, 2008

This is the fifth installment of an informal workshop series that started three years ago. (The programs of the previous workshops are available.) The theme of the workshop is the interface between the lambda calculus and formal grammar, with a particular emphasis on the grammar formalism known as Abstract Categorial Grammar or Lambda Grammar. The workshop is open to all interested people.

The workshop is part of the NII joint research project Toward a Comprehensive Model of Grammar Based on the Typed Lambda Calculus, headed by Makoto Kanazawa.

Date and Place

Date:March 24-25, 2008
Place:Lecture Rooms 1 & 2 (2005, 2004), 20th floor, National Institute of Informatics (National Center of Sciences Building). (Map and access information.)
