Computing Meaning Volume 2
Search in google:
A contribution to the emerging discipline of computational semantics, which is concerned with computing the meanings of linguistic objects such as sentences, text fragments, and dialogue. Here researchers offer 17 studies for linguists, computer scientists, and logicians interesting in knowing more about the algorithmic realization of meaning in natural language. The topics include dynamic and underspecified interpretation without dynamic or underspecified logic, minimum description length and compositionality, semantically based ellipsis resolution with syntactic presuppositions, dynamic discourse referents for tense and modals, and a disambiguation approach for German compounds with de-verbal head.
