A Grounded Model of Reference Use: the Representation and Expression of Referring Cases by a Communicating Agent
نویسنده
چکیده
Numerous attempts have been made to model the phenomenon of reference to individual entities, or denotation. This paper presents a unified and grounded approach to the function of articles, inspired from French noun phrases. It is claimed that entities occupy in reality various referring cases, which an agent capable to perceive its environment may represent and express. The model attempts to simulate the emergence of function words corresponding to articles, provided the distinct expression of referring cases is relevant for the tasks required from the agents in a computer simulation.
