Language and Logic	PRAGMATICS AND LOGIC
Workshop	JENS ALLWOOD Department of Linguistics, University of Gothenborg
Second week	jens@ling.gu.se
Course description	Logic has been applied to pragmatics at least since the 1950:s. Among the first attempts were Richard Martin's formalization of epistemic notions and Yehoshua Bar Hillel's discussion of the logical nature of deixis. Other well known efforts are Searle's and Vanderveken's formalization of the semantics of speech act terms. Contributions of logic to pragmatics have also been made under the rubric of semantics. For example, what Richard Montague called pragmatics (formalization of tense and modality) has by many others been called semantics. Without worrying too much about such at least partly terminological issues, the workshop will concentrate on the use of logic to formalize and understand such areas as Dialog analysis, for example, in the context of NLP systems Contextual determination of meaning Corpus based analysis of language. However, a discussion of other uses of logic in pragmatics are also warmly welcomed.
