论文摘要
在本文中，我们得出了“上下文中的单词含义”的概念，将其描述为强度和概念。我们介绍了一个框架，用于在上下文中指定对单词含义的本地和全局约束以及它们的相互作用，从而建模在说话解释中观察到的各种词汇转移和歧义。我们将句子表示为“情况描述系统”，这是一种概率模型，它将话语理解是一种对自己描述一种或多种情况描述的心理过程，该过程可以解释观察到的话语。我们展示了如何在实践中实现该系统，并将其应用于包含各种背景化现象的示例。
In this paper, we derive a notion of 'word meaning in context' that characterizes meaning as both intensional and conceptual. We introduce a framework for specifying local as well as global constraints on word meaning in context, together with their interactions, thus modelling the wide range of lexical shifts and ambiguities observed in utterance interpretation. We represent sentence meaning as a 'situation description system', a probabilistic model which takes utterance understanding to be the mental process of describing to oneself one or more situations that would account for an observed utterance. We show how the system can be implemented in practice, and apply it to examples containing various contextualisation phenomena.
