Concretion
Paul S. Jacobs · 1988
A language understanding program must produce as precise a meaning representation as possible from a linguistic input. CONCRETION is the process of developing a specific interpretation by combining various levels of conceptual information. This process represents an assumption-based method of language interpretation, and departs from the traditional approach of treating multiple interpretations as independent. Concretion allows the language analyzer to develop a sufficiently specific representation without excessive computation or brittle interpretation rules.
