{"pk":30811,"title":"Pragmatic Interpretation and Ambiguity","subtitle":null,"abstract":"An approach to pragmatic interpretation in natural language understanding is described. The approach trades off a full generative natural language capacity for the ability to recognize the flow of familiar (and often complex) arguments. The theory requires considerable domain-dependent knowledge and specific domain-dependent goals for the understanding system. The process model described, however, is domain-independent with fsdrly relaxed representational constraints. All processing takes plaw:e within a hierarchical episodic memory, allowing expectations to be posted to quite general concepts from multiple sources in parallel.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Paper Presentations","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0c3858qq","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Charles","middle_name":"E.","last_name":"Martin","name_suffix":"","institution":"Yale University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1989-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/30811/galley/20660/download/"}]}
