A Bayesian interpretation of cross‐linguistic ambiguity tests

Ambiguity and Idiosyncratic Interpretation

This paper discusses logics whose premisses and/or conclusions can contain ambiguous material. Two different kinds of applications are sketched for these logics. First, the paper discusses how logics with ambiguous expressions can shed light on the way in which human hearers or readers understand certain 'paradoxical' logical arguments, in which crucial use is made of ambiguous material. Second...

Semantic Interpretation and Ambiguity

A new approach to semantic interpretation in natural language understanding is described, together with mechanisms for both lexical and structural disambiguation that work in concert with the semantic interpreter. ABSITY, the system described, is a Montague-inspired semantic interpreter. Like Montague formalisms, its semantics is compositional by design and is strongly typed, with semantic rule...

Ambiguity and Idiosyn rati Interpretation

Ambiguity, Underspecification and Discourse Interpretation

A formal analysis of ambiguity processing is a necessary prerequisite for the development of a theory of underspecification and discourse interpretation for NLP systems. The analysis presented here is based on a distinction between semantic ambiguity and perceived ambiguity. A sentence is semantically ambiguous if it has a multiplicity of interpretations; a form of underspecified representation...
