9 Computational Linguistics Implementing Natural Language Semantics with Functional Programming http://research.nii.ac.jp/~kanazawa/Courses/2011/Seminar/i ndex.html Makoto Kanazawa Associate Professor Master's or Ph.D. students 2 3–6 months This internship involves implementing in a functional programming language semantic rules for some fragments of English (and possibly other languages) that have recently been put forward by various researchers. Candidates should have rudimentary knowledge of natural language semantics, as found in, e.g., Heim and Kratzer's textbook. Previous experience with at least one programming language (not necessarily functional) is required. The goal is to contribute toward establishing a useful environment in which to develop and test linguistic theories. See also http://okmij.org/ftp/gengo/NASSLLI10/index.html for some examples.
