Natural Language Production in Database Semantics
نویسنده
چکیده
A theory of natural language production (speaker mode) has to answer the following questions: (i) Where does the content serving as input to language production come from? (ii) In which format is this relatively language-independent content stored, processed, and retrieved? and (iii) How is activated content mapped into well-formed surfaces of a certain natural language? After brief answers to (i) and (ii), this paper concentrates on (iii), illustrating the time-linear method of Database Semantics (DBS) on some of the most notorious grammatical constructions of natural language.

Why Is Deduction Required for Database Systems ? - Some Case Studies
By combining the advantages of logic programming and relational database algebra, deductive databases provide important extensions relevant to the efficient solution of many practical problems. In this paper we present three successful case studies: a CASE tool for security semantics, a production planning and control system, and a natural language interface.

Database semantics for natural language
This paper presents a formal ‘fragment’ of database semantics as a declarative model of a cognitive agent. It is called a SLIM machine and functionally integrates the procedures of natural language interpretation, conceptualization, and production as well as query and inference. Each of these functions is illustrated explicitly by a corresponding LA-grammar. In addition, a control structure bas...
متن کاملA Theory of Signs for Database Semantics
The goal of this paper is to build a bridge from a certain intuitive conception of natural language communication, called the SLIM theory of language, to a technical approach, called database semantics (cf. Hausser 1999/2001). The intuitive approach proceeds from the interfaces of a cognitive agent’s recognition and action, the levels of language and context, the nature of concepts, and the rec...
