Computational Linguistics In 1990
نویسنده
چکیده
Coling's existence can today be measured in (reasonable fractions of) centuries. After twelve well-renowned international conferences arranged by the International Committee for Computational Linguistics and after an increasing number of publications and local meetings dedicated to the topic one might assume that all of us who care would by now know exactly what computational linguistics is about. We do not. Not only do we differ slightly on where we want to place the emphasis, the concept also evolves with each of us in the vague, successive way in which other words in human language so fruitfully keep changing. Computational linguistics is what we make it.

A Phrase Structure Grammar Of The Arabic Language
A lot of work has been done in the field of natural language processing (NLP) for ARABIC. Few researchers have tried hard to apply on ARABIC the methods of computational linguistics, as for example, Definite Clause Grammar (DCG) [I] and Augmented Transition Networks (ATN) [2]. Because there is not a modern linguistic model for ARABIC grammar within the frame of computational linguistics, the re...
متن کاملTowards the Integration of Functions, Relations and Types in an AI Programming Language
This paper describes the design and implementation of the programming language PC-Life. This language integrates the functional and the logic-oriented programming style and feature types supporting inheritance. This combination yields a language particularly suited to knowledge representation, especially for application in computational linguistics.
متن کاملSentential Semantics for Propositional Attitudes
The sentential theory of propositional attitudes is very attractive to AI workers, but it is difficult to use such a theory to assign semantics to English sentences about attitudes. The problem is that a compositional semantics cannot easily build the logical forms that the theory requires. We present a new notation for a sentential theory, and a unification grammar that builds logical forms in...
متن کاملCategorial Semantics and Scoping
Certain restrictions on possible scopings of quantified noun phrases in natural language are usually expressed in terms of formal constraints on binding at a level of logical form. Such reliance on the form rather than the content of semantic interpretations goes against the spirit of compositionality. I will show that those scoping restrictions follow from simple and fundamental facts about fu...
متن کاملWhen Something Is Missing: Ellipsis, Coordination and the Chart
This paper deals with two linguistic phenomena which are usually considered cases of ill-formedness by the computational linguistics community: intersentential ellipsis and coordination (possibly with gaps). We present an original solution, if compared to those already known for the two phenomena. This solution is conceived within a relevant approach to parsing, i.e. chart parsing, and is coher...
