I report on work in progress concerning the development of a natural language parser. On the one hand I discuss how a call-by-value lambda-mu-calculus endowed with labels can be used to provide a Montague semantics for natural language and how events can be exploited in order to deal with linguistic phenomena such as adverbs. On the other hand I explain how a type-driven parser can be obtained by enriching the type system with morphosyntactic and grammatical features.
