Sommario/riassunto

This volume contains the papers presented at the International Scientific Symposium "Natural Language and Logic" held in Hamburg in May 1989. The aim of the papers is to present and discuss latest developments in the application of logic-based meth- ods for natural language understanding. Logic-based methods have gained in



importance in the field of computational linguistics as well as for representing various types of knowledge in natural language understanding systems. The volume gives an overview of recent results achieved within the LILOG project (LInguistic and LOgic methods for understanding German texts) - one of the largest research projects in the field of text understanding - as well as within related natural language understanding systems.
