An HNC Approach to the Resolution of Syntactic Structural Ambiguity
Keliang Zhang · Zhongwen xinxi xuebao · 2004
Disambiguation has always been the focus of natural language understanding and processing. Successful disambiguation relies on the correct understanding of a given context. The HNC theory is characteristic of its formalized representation of conceptual primitives, its arrangement of concepts in a hierarchical network, and its development of the sentence category (SC) and sentence format (SF) systems. All this provides the utmost possibility for resolving ambiguity in natural languages. The overall principle for HNC-based disambiguation is to take sentence as the basis for disambiguation and to integrate micro disambiguation into macro disambiguation. In the case of V+NP1+的+NP2, a triple ambiguous syntactic structure in the HNC perspective, proper rules are suggested for its disambiguation.
