Preference Semantics for Message Understanding
The design of effective natural language processing systems requires a combination of the theoretical and the practical. We want to have a theoretically well-founded design so that we can take advantage of gradual improvements in our knowledge of syntax, semantics, discourse structures, and the subject domain. At the same time we need to adopt a practical approach which recognizes the inevitabl...
متن کاملRight Attachment and Preference Semantics
The paper claims that the right attachment rules for phrases originally suggested by Frazier and Fodor are wrong, and that none of the subsequent patchings of the rules by syntactic methods have improved the situation. For each rule there are perfectly straightforward and indefinitely large classes of simple counterexamples. We then examine suggestions by Ford et M., Schubert and Hirst which ar...

There is a rich canon of work on the meaning of imperative sentences, e.g. Dance!, in philosophy and much recent research in linguistics has made its own exciting advances. However, I argue here that three kinds of observations about imperatives are problematic for approaches from both traditions. I contend that these shortcomings stem from an entirely standard assumption of these semantic theo...
متن کاملPreference Queries with SV-Semantics
Personalization of database queries requires a semantically rich, easy to handle and flexible preference model. Building on preferences as strict partial orders we provide a variety of intuitive base preference constructors for numerical and categorical data, including so-called d-parameters. As a novel semantic concept for complex preferences we introduce the notion of ‘substitutable values’ (...
متن کاملPreference Semantics, III-Formedness, and Metaphor
This paper is about the relationships between Preference Semantics (PS) and illformedness , and between Preference Semantics and metaphor. Two types of "preference", declarative and procedural, are distinguished. The PS framework is examined with respect to notions of welland il l-formedness, and two criteria for i l l -formedness are distinguished, both of which are possessed by PS: an absolut...
