Words, Proofs and Diagrams

This book explores the intersections of logic, computer science, and linguistics, highlighting the role of images and graphics in understanding information.

In the past two decades, there has been a notable surge in interdisciplinary research collaborations among various fields, including computer science, logic, linguistics, philosophy, and psychology. These diverse disciplines have come together to tackle a fundamental question: how can logic enhance our understanding of information? This exploration has led to the emergence of new ideas and methodologies that bridge the gaps between these fields, fostering a rich environment for innovative research.

Words, Proofs and Diagrams presents a comprehensive collection of studies that delve into the dynamic intersections of logic, computer science, and linguistics. The book covers a range of active research areas, including process logics, formal semantics, and language processing. Each of these areas contributes to a deeper understanding of how language and logic interact, ultimately enriching the study of information.

Moreover, the volume introduces a novel area of research where logic, computer science, and linguistics converge: the examination of images and graphics as carriers of information. This fresh perspective highlights the role of diagrammatic reasoning and the ways in which visual representations can enhance our comprehension of complex concepts. Through its diverse contributions, Words, Proofs and Diagrams offers valuable insights into the ongoing dialogue among these disciplines, showcasing the potential of collaborative research to illuminate the nature of information.
