Towards a Cognitively Based Approach of a Description of Spatial Deixis
نویسنده
چکیده
In this presentation an approach towards a description of spatial deixis based on the perceptual and cognitive abilities of humans is outlined. After a basic introduction into space perception and representation the ndings of this part are taken to form the basis for a characterization of the phenomenon of deixis as well as the conceptual components of deictic expressions in a natural language. For the analysis of deictic expressions a cross-linguistic view is applied to nd on the one hand universal components of those expressions but also a number of potentially innuencing factors. The goal is to nd features that may be components of deictic expressions and thus must be considered in a general model of spatial deixis which can serve to classify and describe the meaning of spatial deictic expressions in any natural language.

متن کاملTowards Cognitively Adequate Interaction for Mental Model-Based Spatio-Temporal Assistance
This paper presents an approach for interaction between a human user and a mental model-based spatio-temporal assistance system based on the definitions for conceptual and inferential cognitive adequacy (cf. Knauff et. al., 1995). The paper introduces work in progress that covers ideas towards a visual interaction language that provides cognitively adequate knowledge representation and interact...
