Semantic Classes and Syntactic Ambiguity
In this paper we propose to define selectional preference and semantic similarity as information-theoretic relationships involving conceptual classes, and we demonstrate the applicability of these definitions to the resolution of syntactic ambiguity. The space of classes is defined using WordNet [8], and conceptual relationships are determined by means of statistical analysis using parsed text ...
متن کاملSemantic Ambiguity and Perceived Ambiguity
I explore some of the issues that arise when trying to establish a connection between the underspecification hypothesis pursued in the NLP literature and work on ambiguity in semantics and in the psychological literature. A theory of underspecification is developed ‘from the first principles’, i.e., starting from a definition of what it means for a sentence to be semantically ambiguous and from...

Callaham's Russian-English Technical and Scientific Dictionary was consulted for English equivalents of the multiple-valued words. The average number of equivalents for these words was 8.6. Many of these equivalents may be considered as synonyms; when there is a fairly distinct change in meaning, the listing is divided into groups, separated by a semicolon. The average number of such groups, re...
متن کاملProsodic resolution of syntactic ambiguity
This paper deals with the use of prosodic information in disambiguating syntactic structure, i.e. in arriving at the correct interpretation of a syntactically ambiguous sentence. We will start out by examining closer the linguistic phenomenon of prosody, its acoustic and functional properties. It is pretty clear that prosody plays an important role in human speech understanding, however, the ex...
متن کاملSemantic 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...
