Discourse Plan Meaning

چکیده
Resume We outline in this paper the following view of linguistic meanings. Meanings are planned in the course of speech. The plans, we call them discourse plans (DP), combine referential structure, cognitive situation structure and communicative structure. If and when the DP is realizable, it is transformed into a meaning, which from a technical perspective, is a second order typed lambda term. As such, meanings turn out to be compositional. Nous présentons dans cet article la vision suivante du sens linguistique. Le sens est planifié au cours de la parole. Les plans des sens, que nous appelons plans du discours (DP), combinent la structure référentielle, la structure des situations cognitives et la structure communicative. Si un DP est réalisable, alors il est transformé en un sens. Sur le plan technique, les sens sont les Lambda-termes typés du deuxième ordre. Comme tels, ils s’avèrent compositionnels.

Linguistic Meaning from the Language Acquisition Perspective
From a plausible cognitive hypothesis explaining how little children develop complex meaning structures, we come to the conclusion that linguistic meanings are planned. The plans, we call them discourse plans, are tree-like structures composed of primitive situations and establishing referential links between the situations and the context. Linguistic meanings are second order Lambda-terms deri...
متن کاملTowards Generating Text from Discourse Representation Structures
We argue that Discourse Representation Structures form a suitable level of languageneutral meaning representation for micro planning and surface realisation. DRSs can be viewed as the output of macro planning, and form the rough plan and structure for generating a text. We present the first ideas of building a large DRS corpus that enables the development of broad-coverage, robust text generato...
متن کاملDiscourse Plans, Intented Eeects and the Generation of Implicatures
A number of systems have been developed for discourse generation that use hierarchical planning techniques to generate discourse plans [Appelt 1983,Cawsey 1993,Maybury 1992,Hovy 1991,Moore and Paris 1993]. These plan-based approaches provide various solutions to the problems of content and structure determination: what communicative acts should appear in a discourse plan, what are the relations...
متن کاملDiscourse Processing of Dialogues with Multiple Threads
In this paper we will present our ongoing work on a plan-based discourse processor developed in the context of the Enthusiast Spanish to English translation system as part of the JANUS multilingual speech-to-speech translation system. We will demonstrate that theories of discourse which postulate a strict tree structure of discourse on either the intentional or attentional level are not totally...
متن کاملRepairing Conversational Misunderstandings and Non-Understandings1
Participants in a discourse sometimes fail to understand one another, but, when aware of the problem, collaborate upon or negotiate the meaning of a problematic utterance. To address nonunderstanding, we have developed two plan-based models of collaboration in identifying the correct referent of a description: one covers situations where both conversants know of the referent, and the other cove...
