Referential nets with attributes
Christopher U. Habel · 1982
One of the essential problems in natural language production and understanding is the problem of processing referential relations. In this paper I describe a model for representing and processing referential relations: referential nets with attributes. Both processes (analyzing and generating referential expressions) are controlled by attributes. There are two types of attributes, on one hand, the ones to the internal substitutes of the objects spoken about, on the other hand, the ones to the descriptions of these objects.
