Towards an Information-Based Procedural Grammar for Natural Language Understanding

Towards an Information-Based Procedural Grammar for Natural Language Understanding

Abstract This article describes a number of phenomena which must be taken into account in order to model aspects of information transmission/reception which occur during natural language processing. It presents a brief comparison with two prominent and similar approaches (Dynamic Syntax and Left-...
