We invite submissions in the form of 2-page abstracts on topics relating st= =3D atistical and logical models of natural language. This can be a summary of = =3D an already published paper or a new contribution. On the statistical side, we welcome, for example, submissions on distributi= =3D onal and probabilistic semantics and vector space models of meaning. In thi= =3D s relation we encourage work that goes beyond subject-verb-object construct= =3D ions and addresses logical and functional words such as coordinators, quant= =3D ifiers, and prepositions. On the logical side, we invite work on type-logical approaches such as mult= =3D imodal extensions of categorial grammars in the logical and combinatorial traditions; calculi of discontinuity combining Concatenation = =3D and wrapping operations; hybrid type-logical grammars mixing Directional an= =3D d non-directional modes; and continuation-based semantic approaches. Submissions will be evaluated as to their potential for establishing meanin= =3D gful links between the logical and statistical approaches.
