Abstract

The CSLP 2008 workshop addresses the question of constraints and language processing from an interdisciplinary perspective&#046; Constraints are widely used in linguistics, computer science, and psychology&#046; How they are used, however, varies widely according to the research domain: natural language processing, knowledge representation, cognitive modelling, problem solving mechanisms, etc&#046; The purpose is to pursue a paradigm, unifying the different approaches into a common framework capable of explaining how constraints play a role in representing, processing and acquiring linguistic information, and this from a formal, technical, and cognitive perspective<BR><BR> <P><B>Keywords:</B></P> <P>constraint&#8211;based linguistic theories, constraints in human language comprehension and production, context modelling and discourse interpretation, acquisition of constraints, probabilistic constraint&#8211;based reasoning, constraint satisfaction technologies and constraint logic programming&#046;</P>
