A Logical-Based Language for Feature Specification and Transmission Control.
Pascale Sébillot · 1991
In this paper, we present a logic-programming modelling of feature filtering mechanisms. Feature filtering is an important topic in natural language processing. We give a logical-based specification, valid for different theories of features (including their evolution from the lexicon, expressed in terms of axioms, and including control tools). We define the logical foundations of these specifications, which have been shown useful for naturallanguage grammar programmers. The logical-based language and our formalization are very general and independent from any parsing strategy. They permit to represent feature and control systems proposed by different linguistic theories.
