Helbig, Gerhard – Deutsch als Fremdsprache, 1974

Schachter, Jacquelyn – 1973
This paper attempts to characterize some of the knowledge that people have of their language's semantic structure, in order to determine what a computer has to know to perform the operations of searching for facts and answering questions.
