Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The general goal of the research is to define a logic formalism for a fully integrated theory of discourse understanding which mirrors the steps taken by the hearer in building up interpretation for a sentence from the words as presented in sequence. The model is based on the LDS methodology of Gabbay 1990, 1994 projecting syntactic and semantic information together through steps of labelled deduction. The specific task is to define a proto-type Prolog implementation for a refinement of an earlier version of this system and to use the result to solve problematic cases in which the feeding relation between syntactic and semantic information appears to need to go in both directions.
