Comparative expressions (CEs) such as "bigger than" and "more oranges than" are highly ambiguous, and their meaning is context dependent. Thus, they pose probl...
This paper shows that a first-order unificationbased semantic interpretation for various coordinate constructs is possible without an explicit use of lambda expressions if we slig...
The logic behind parsers for categorial grammars can be formalized in several different ways. Lambek Calculus (LC) constitutes an example for a natural deduction 1 style parsing m...
A novel formalism is presented for Earley-like parsers. It accommodates the simulation of non-deterministic pushdown automata. In particular, the theory is applied to non-determin...
the syntactically impossible antecedents. This latter This paper describes an implemented mechanism for handling bound anaphora, disjoint reference, and pronominal reference. The a...
Existing plan-based theories of speech act interpretation do not account for the conventional aspect of speech acts. We use patterns of linguistic features (e.g. mood, verb form, ...
An effective procedure for automatically acquiring a new set of disambiguation rules for an existing deterministic parser on the basis of tagged text is presented. Performance of ...
