SPINOZA II: CONCEPTUAL CASE-BASED NATURAL LANGUAGE ANALYSIS,
Roger C. Schank · University of New Hampshire Scholars Repository (University of New Hampshire at Manchester) · 1970
The paper presents the theoretical changes that have developed in conceptual dependency theory and their ramifications in computer analysis of natural language. The major items of concern are: the elimination of reliance on 'grammar rules' for parsing with the emphasis given to conceptual rule based parsing; the development of a conceptual case system to account for the power of conceptualizations; the categorization of ACT's based on permissible conceptual cases and other criteria. These items are developed and discussed in the context of a more powerful conceptual parser and a theory of language understanding. (Author)
