Your post has been a great help. And I could find at least one of the aforementioned paper.</p> <p>However, now the question is locate the whereabouts of Andreas Schöter in the internet, to see if he has done more after the 90´s. If anyone knows his webpage, please let us know.</p> Thank you very much, Mr. Beaver. Your post has been a great help. And I could find at least one

However, now the question is locate the whereabouts of Andreas Schöter in the internet, to see if he has done more after the 90´s. If
anyone knows his webpage, please let us know.

I believe here’s also lots of AI work in default and nonmonotonic logic that references or builds on work in paraconsistent logic, and much of this has been applied to natural language. You should ask someone who really knows this stuff, like Rich Thomason, Michael Morreau or Nic Asher.
