Reasoning in Natural Language in using Combinatory Logic and Topology An example with aspect and temporal relations
نویسنده
چکیده
We are studying how Curry’s Combinatory Logic can be used for giving an adequate analysis of different gram matical problems such as diatheses, tenses and aspects, and lexical analyses by formal representations of meanings of verbal predicates and prepositions. The paper intends to show how Combinatory Logic can solve on the one hand, the formal representations of tenses and aspects in natural languages with the help of the topology of intervals and, on the other hand, the problem of the synthesis of a lexical predicate from a formal description of its meaning by means of a semantic cognitive scheme (SCS). We want to explain, in following an example, how can be explained the “natural” inference between two utterances like John took the Mary’s pen. > Now, John has got the pen.

Toward a formal ontology of time and aspect
We present a work in the scope of formal ontologies, notion taken from the knowledge representation community. What we study is the concept of time and aspect described and conceptualized from linguistics. Our aim is thus to propose a formal ontology of time and aspect considering temporal concepts introduced in a formal way. Introduction Our aim is to precise some concepts and properties of ti...
متن کاملAspecto-Temporal Representation for Discourse Analysis: An Example of Formal Computation
This paper studies aspecto-temporal representation and the temporal relations of discourse. We give a formal definition of different aspectual operators from the formal notions of states, events and process which are necessary for adequate analysis of aspects and tenses in natural languages. The aim of this work is not to present a deep comparison of the two models (SDRT and CAG) but to focus o...
متن کاملCreating a Natural Logic Inference System with Combinatory Categorial Grammar
This dissertation presents an integrated system for producing Natural Logic inferences, which are used in a wide variety of natural language understanding tasks. Natural Logic is the process of creating valid inferences by making incremental edits to natural language expressions with respect to a universal monotonicity calculus, without resorting to logical representation of the expressions (us...
متن کاملContext-aware Modeling for Spatio-temporal Data Transmitted from a Wireless Body Sensor Network
Context-aware systems must be interoperable and work across different platforms at any time and in any place. Context data collected from wireless body area networks (WBAN) may be heterogeneous and imperfect, which makes their design and implementation difficult. In this research, we introduce a model which takes the dynamic nature of a context-aware system into consideration. This model is con...
متن کاملTowards Linguistically-Grounded Spatial Logics
Spatial Logics and Spatial Language. The system of Euclidean geometry is defined by geometrical axioms with points and lines as primitive entities [Hilbert, 1899, Tarski, 1959]. It provides the ground for spatial logics, a formal language used for describing geometrical entities and configurations [Aiello et al., 2007], interpreted over a class of geometric structures. These structures can be a...
