Paper

Ontology, Types and Semantics

In Proceedings of the 3rd International Workshop on Natural Language Understanding and Cognitive Science - Volume 0ICEIS, 17-26, 2006 , Paphos, Cyprus

Author: Walid S. Saba

Affiliation: American University of Technology, United States

Abstract: In this paper we argue that many problems in the semantics of natural language are due to a large gap between semantics (which is an attempt at understanding what we say in language about the world) and the way the world is. This seemingly monumental effort can be grossly simplified if one assumes, as Hobbs (1985) correctly observed some time ago, a theory of the world that reflects the way we talk about it. We demonstrate here that assuming such a strongly-typed ontology of commonsense knowledge reduces certain problems to near triviality.
