Towards Structural Natural Language Formalization: Mapping Discourse to Controlled Natural Language
نویسنده
چکیده
The author describes a conceptual study towards mapping grounded natural language discourse representation structures to instances of controlled language statements. This can be achieved via a pipeline of preexisting state of the art technologies, namely natural language syntax to semantic discourse mapping, and a reduction of the latter to controlled language discourse, given a set of previously learnt reduction rules. Concludingly a description on evaluation, potential and limitations for ontology-based reasoning is presented.

Widdowson and Classroom Discourse
Drawing on recent developments in linguistic description and applied linguistics, it can be concluded that learning a language necessitates getting to know something and being able to do something with that knowledge: competence, and performance. Structural approach to language description attaches importance to the former; communicative approach to the latter. Appropriate classroom discours...
متن کاملTowards a Computational Formalization of Natural Language Semantics
\ I~I~RODUCTION The problem of explicating the meaning of natural language discourse and how this meaning is obtained has been of central importance to the study of philosophy since the time of Aristotle. This problem has continued to perplex philosophers, linguists, psychologists, and other academicians right up to this very day, such perplexity manifesting itself in disputes such as nominalis...
متن کاملThe Rhetorical Parsing, Summarization, and Generation of Natural Language Texts
This thesis is an inquiry into the nature of the high-level, rhetorical structure of unrestricted natural language texts, computational means to enable its derivation, and two applications (in automatic summarization and natural language generation) that follow from the ability to build such structures automatically. The thesis proposes a rst-order formalization of the high-level, rhetorical st...
متن کاملBidirectional Mapping Between OWL DL and Attempto Controlled English
We describe ongoing work on a bidirectional mapping between Attempto Controlled English (ACE) and OWL DL. ACE is a well-studied controlled natural language, with a parser that converts ACE texts into Discourse Representation Structures (DRS). We show how ACE can be translated into OWL DL (by using the DRS as interlingua) and how OWL DL can be verbalized in ACE. This mapping renders ACE an inter...
متن کاملAttempto - From Specifications in Controlled Natural Language towards Executable Specifications
Deriving formal specifications from informal requirements is difficult since one has to take into account the disparate conceptual worlds of the application domain and of software development. To bridge the conceptual gap we propose controlled natural language as a textual view on formal specifications in logic. The specification language Attempto Controlled English (ACE) is a subset of natural...
