Interpretation Without Semantics
نویسنده
چکیده
I suggest that Geoffrey Nunberg's work can make two contributions to the issue of the relationship of lexical semantics to knowledge representation. The first is the claim that Lexical Semantics and Knowledge Representation are the same. The second (which is both more controversial and more difficult to implement) is that the connection between this world knowledge and lexical items must be quite flexible, if not, in fact, non-existent and constructed anew for each interpretive act. I outline several arguments for this position and present a formal method of incorporating this within a standard Montague-grammar framework.

We study the complexity of consistency checking and query answering on incomplete databases for languages ranging from non-recursive Datalog to disjunctive Datalog with negation under the stable model semantics.

متن کاملSemantics and Analysis of Instruction List Programs
Instruction List (IL) is a simple typed assembly language commonly used in embedded control. There is little tool support for IL and, although defined in the IEC 61131-3 standard, there is no formal semantics. In this work we develop a formal operational semantics. Moreover, we present an abstract semantics, which allows approximative program simulation for a (possibly infinte) set of inputs in...
