Noun Phrases, Objects and the Organization of Knowledge
-
摘要: 我们知识中的很大一部分是关于物体的知识。我们用名词短语来指代物体,它们在我们的语言交流过程中扮演着十分重要的角色。文章将探讨两个问题,即(1)名词短语与物体之间的关系,与(2)物体与知识组织之间的关系。此外,文章还将初步讨论量词问题以及用自然语言进行知识表现和推理方面的问题。Abstract: A great deal of our knowledge is knowledge about objects and noun phrases by which we typically refer to them play a vital role in our verbal communication. This paper examines the relationships between (1) noun phrases and objects, and (2) objects and the organization of knowledge. It also touches on the problem of quantifiers, and the issues of representing knowledge and reasoning in natural language.
