Natural Language Workshop in TYPES

The workshop has now registrations of seventeen participants: Peter Aczel, Tijn Borghuis, Robin Cooper, Yann Coscoy, Jo\"elle Despeyroux, Daniel Fridlender, Matti Kinnunen, Zhaohui Luo, Petri M\"aenp\"a\"a, Per Martin-L\"of, Bengt Nordstr\"om, Frank Pfenning, Randy Pollack, Aarne Ranta, Anton Setzer, Jan Smith, and Laurent Th\'ery. Thus there is room for a few more (check with the local organizers and inform Aarne Ranta as well). In the following preliminary programme, each speaker is given 30 minutes for the talk and 10 minutes for discussion. But there is some flexibility, given that we have five hours between 14 and 19. Updates to the programme will be followed by updates on this web page.
