Research on the Incremental Processing of Japanese Based on Dynamic Syntax and Semantics

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This research project is aimed to establish a basis for a dynamic framework for the interpretation of language, an approach to process sentences in Japanese in an incremental fashion on the basis of Dynamic Syntax and model-theoretic semantics. Skolemized choice functions are applied to the treatment of the scope of quantifiers and indefinites NPs in Japanese in this research. This research also presents the parser implemented in Prolog. Since little research about the implementation of sentence processing in Japanese has been proposed in the Dynamic Syntax literature, this research provides an algorithm for the application of transition rules, which enables the state of parsing to shift to the next step.
