Abstract

The author presents the main lines of an approach to the semantics of natural-language sentences within the logic programming framework. A formalism and tools are defined to represent noun phrases, verb phrases, adjectives, determiners, and some adverbs with a degree of precision deemed suitable for a natural-language front end. The formalism used is based on first-order logic augmented by PROLOG calls. A methodology is presented rather than an exhaustive list of results. The author also gives the main lines of an approach to building the semantic representation of sentences, i.e., by the application of rewrite rules associated with contextual preconditions of application.
