Semantic Pre-processing of Anaphoric References
Marie Du · 2007
In the paper we describe the method of encoding communi- cation of agents in a multi-agent system (MAS). The autonomous agents communicate with each other by exchanging messages formulated in a near-to-natural language. Transparent Intensional Logic (TIL) is an ex- pressive system primarily designed for the logical analysis of natural lan- guage; thus we make use of TIL as a tool for encoding the semantic con- tent of messages. The hyper-intensional features of TIL analysis are de- scribed in particular with respect to agents' attitudes and anaphoric refer- ences. By an example we illustrate the way TIL can function as a dynamic logic of discourse where anaphoric pronouns refer to entities of any type, even constructions, i.e. the structured meanings of other expressions.
