英文句子的语义分析 读书报告 & 初步结果 刘庆霞 20170309

语义分析 语义分析 产生意义表示，并将其指派给输入语句的过程 句法驱动的语义分析 组合性原则 一个句子的意义可以由它的几个部分的意义组合而成

意义表示 （Meaning Representation） The meaning of linguistic utterances can be captured in formal structures, which we will call meaning representations. 意义表示的计算要求 Verifiability Unambiguous one representation -> one meaning Canonical Form one meaning -> one representation Inference and Variables Expresiveness

意义表示 （Meaning Representation） 一阶谓词演算（FOPC） 项（term） 常量（constant） 连接词（connective） 量词（quantifier） 变量（variable） 谓词（Predicate） 函数（function） Stanford: DCS; Edingburg：CCG Texas Unv. at Austin： lambda calculus （德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校）

句法驱动的语义分析 为上下文无关语法规则 扩充 语义附着（semantic attachment） S -> NP VP {VP.sem(NP.sem)} VP -> Verb NP {Verb.sem(NP.sem)} Verb -> serves {λx∃e, y Isa(e, Serving) ∧Server(e,y) ∧Served(e,x)}

英语片段的语义 名词短语 形容词短语 动词短语 介词短语 复合名词、所属名词短语 名词前形容词、谓语性形容词 不定式动词短语 Who told Harry to go to Maharani. 介词短语 修饰名词、修饰动词短语、作为动词论元

名词短语 复合名词 Summer light schedule 所属名词短语 Atlanta’s airport 含明前形容词的NP I don’t mind a cheap restaurant 交集语义 λx Isa(x, Restaurant) ∧ Isa (x, Cheap) small elephant，fake gun 仅指出存在抽象关系 λx Isa(x, Restaurant) ∧ AM (x, Cheap)

介词短语 修饰名词 修饰动词 作为动词的论元 a restaurant on Pearl ∃x Isa(x, Resuaurant) ∧On(x, Pearl) 修饰动词 ate dinner in a hurry ∃y Isa(e, Eating) ∧Eater(e, y) ∧Eaten(e, Dinner) ∧In(e, < ∃h Hurry(h)>) 作为动词的论元 I need to go from Boston to Dallas. 问句中，修饰动词的情况比较少见； <>复杂项：因为FOPC(一阶谓词演算）不允许将函数作为论元； from Boston=Boston 名词短语的语义直接复制给介词短短语，然后由动词短语将该意义表示指派到恰当的角色

句法驱动的语义分析 缺点 视野有限 上下文独立 推理无关
