PLANNING WHAT TO SAY: Second Order Semantics for Fluid Construction Grammars
نویسندگان
چکیده
Research in the origins and evolution of language has now reached a level where languages with grammatical structures are emerging in computer simulations and robotic experiments based on situated embodied language games played by populations of agents. This paper focuses on some of the technical AI issues related to this research. Specifically, we report on a system for planning complex meanings (IRL) and on their grammatical expression in Fluid Construction Grammar.

FCGlight: Making the bridge between Fluid Construction Grammars and main-stream unification grammars by using feature constraint logics
Fluid Construction Grammars (FCGs) are a flavour of Construction Grammars, which themselves are unification-based grammars. Its syntax is (only) up to certain extent similar to other unification-based grammars. However, it lacks a declarative semantics, while its procedural semantics is truly particular, compared to other unification-based grammar formalisms. Here we propose the re-definition o...
متن کاملConstraint-based RMRS Construction from Shallow Grammars
We present a constraint-based syntax-semantics interface for the construction of RMRS (Robust Minimal Recursion Semantics) representations from shallow grammars. The architecture is designed to allow modular interfaces to existing shallow grammars of various depth – ranging from chunk grammars to context-free stochastic grammars. We define modular semantics construction principles in a typed fe...
متن کاملWhat triggers the emergence of grammar?
The paper proposes that grammar emerges in order to reduce the computational complexity of semantic interpretation and discusses some details of simulations based on Fluid Construction Grammars.
متن کاملLinking in Fluid Construction Grammars
One of the key problems in any language processing system is to establish an adequate syntax/semantics interface, and one of the major requirements of such an interface is that partial meanings contributed by individual words are properly linked with each other based on grammatical constructions. This paper reports how we deal with this problem within the context of Fluid Construction Grammars ...
متن کاملSemTAG: a platform for specifying Tree Adjoining Grammars and performing TAG-based Semantic Construction
In this paper, we introduce SEMTAG, a free and open software architecture for the development of Tree Adjoining Grammars integrating a compositional semantics. SEMTAG differs from XTAG in two main ways. First, it provides an expressive grammar formalism and compiler for factorising and specifying TAGs. Second, it supports semantic construction.
