The Research Institute for Linguistics of the Hungarian Academy of
Sciences is pleased to announce the Tenth Symposium on Logic and
Language, to be held on August 26-29, 2009 in Gardony, Hungary.

The 2009 meeting is the tenth installment of the Symposium series, which
is designed to provide a forum where logicians and linguists can meet to
share and discuss ideas and issues about how linguistics and logic
influence each other, with the aim of promoting a fruitful cooperation.
Preceding symposia took place in Debrecen (1987), Hajduszoboszlo (1989),
Revfulop (1990), Budapest (1992), Noszvaj (1994), Budapest (1998), Pecs
(2002), Debrecen (2004), and Besenyotelek (2006).

The organizers invite papers that analyze the interpretation of all
kinds of expressions in natural languages by formal means, or
investigate the logical and computational properties or philosophical
foundations of semantic theories.
