Beforeintroducingthepapersthemselves,wewillgiveabitofbackgroundonthe workshop itself. Logic and Engineering of Natural Language Semantics (LENLS) was originally envisaged by the late Norihiro “Norry” Ogata around the turn of the century, when he joined the faculty of Osaka University. Before LENLS had therebeennoregularlyscheduledinternationalworkshopsorconferencesdedicated to natural-language formal semantics/pragmatics in Japan. Ogata and McCready later discussed the possibility of realizing such a workshop, and in the end Ogata organized the first instantiation in 2004.
