Logic Language And Computation - Volume 2 - Ginzburg Jonathan

. .

Résumé :
The fields of logic, linguistics and computer science are intimately related 5 and modern research has uncovered a wide range of connections. This collection focuses on work that is based on the unifying concept of information. This collection of nineteen papers covers subjects such as channel theory, presupposition and constraints, the modeling of discourse, and belief. They were all presented at the 1996 Conference on Information-Theoretic Approaches to Logic, Language, Information, and Computation.
