Coinciding with the renewed interest in Husserl and the origins of phenomenology, Logical Investigations, his most famous and influential work, is presented here in paperback for the first time.

Edmund Husserl is the founder of phenomenology and the Logical Investigations is his most famous work. It had a decisive impact on twentieth century philosophy and is one of few works to have influenced both continental and analytic philosophy. This is the first time both volumes have been available in paperback. They include a new introduction by Dermot Moran, placing the Investigations in historical context and bringing out their contemporary philosophical importance. These editions include a new preface by Sir Michael Dummett.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Fourth International Colloquium on Grammatical Inference, ICGI-98, held in Ames, Iowa, in July 1998. The 23 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book from a total of 35 submissions. The book addresses a wide range of grammatical inference theory such as automata induction, grammar induction, automatic language acquisition, etc. as well as a variety of applications in areas like syntactic pattern recognition, adaptive intelligent agents, diagnosis, computational biology, data mining, and knowledge discovery.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Second International Conference on Logical Aspects of Computational Linguistics, LACL '97, held in Nancy, France in September 1997. The 10 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing. Also included are two comprehensive invited papers. Among the topics covered are type theory, various types of grammars, linear logic, parsing, type-directed natural language processing, proof-theoretic aspects, concatenation logics, and mathematical languages.

A contribution to the emerging discipline of computational semantics, which is concerned with computing the meanings of linguistic objects such as sentences, text fragments, and dialogue. Here researchers offer 17 studies for linguists, computer scientists, and logicians interesting in knowing more about the algorithmic realization of meaning in natural language. The topics include dynamic and underspecified interpretation without dynamic or underspecified logic, minimum description length and compositionality, semantically based ellipsis resolution with syntactic presuppositions, dynamic discourse referents for tense and modals, and a disambiguation approach for German compounds with de-verbal head.
