The system described in this report is designed for use as a computational tool that allows a linguist to develop and study methods for generating surface strings from an underlying semantic structure. Initial findings with regard to form-determiners (such as voice, form, tense, and mood), some rules for embedding sentences, and some attention to…

Mey, Jacob – Acta Linguistica Hafniensia, 1973
Examination of two works by Per Aage Brandt, "Pour une chromatique. Note sur des prepositions francaises" in "Lingua e Stile," 1971, and "L'analyse phrastique: reflexions pour une grammatique;" both of which discuss the need to develop a grammar superior to transformational grammar or Chomsky's surface structure-deep structure option.

Woods, W. A. – 1969
The augmented transition network described in this report was developed in the course of work in semantic interpretation in the context of a computer system which answers English questions. In order to provide mechanical input for the semantic interpreter, a parsing program based on the notion of a "recursive transition network grammar" was…

Tamati, Tuneo; Kurihara, Tosihiko – 1968
In order to mechanize the processing of natural language, the linguist must make the machine interpret the meaning, or semantic content of the language, in some way or other. This means that the machine should extract not only syntactic but also semantic information from the source sentence through the analysis of it. In this paper, the authors…

Von Foerster, Heinz – 1970
Two accomplishments have increased the feasibility of taking preparatory steps for the construction of machine intelligence systems which can acquire knowledge about facts or descriptions of facts through man-machine dialogue in the user's natural language. One is a better understanding of the relationship between perception, language, and…

Schank, Roger C.; Wilks, Yorick – 1973
There is a need for a new kind of linguistic theory which, while being concerned with both generation and analysis, must include the roles of memory, non-linguistic knowledge, and inference. The role of logic is diminished according to such a theory because inference has no real logical content. Meaning must be studied with respect to the actual…

Wang, William S-Y.; And Others – 1971
This report documents results of a two-year effort toward the study and investigation of the design of a prototype system for Chinese-English machine translation in the general area of physics. Previous work in Chinese-English machine translation is reviewed. Grammatical considerations in machine translation are discussed and detailed aspects of…
