Computational Linguistics & Logic, Phonetics, Language Development,
and Language Use. The research programme of UiL OTS brings together
research from different strands of linguistics and related disciplines
such as logic, computer science, cognitive sciences, teaching, and
social sciences.

Within the Netherlands the UiL OTS is the only research institute
which brings together all these different types of research. The
