Parsing Intentions of Speech

Abstract

This paper is aimed at revealing the inner structures of intentions of speech through demonstrating a method of parsing intentions of speech. The intentions of speech are parsed separately, which is inspired by Searle's notation ( ) . In this research, both the propositional content and the illocutionary forces are represented as semantic frames, the categories of which are combined together with syntactic rules of Categorial Grammar. This method is implemented in a grammar system programed in ALE a logic programming language based on the logic of Typed Feature Structures.
