Invited Paper: When FrameNet meets a Controlled Natural Language

Guntis Bārzdiņš · DSpace repository (University of Tartu) · 2011

There are two approaches to the natural language processing -one is going in width to cover at shallow level (parsing, syntax) the rich linguistic variety found in the natural language, while another is going in depth (semantics, discourse structure) for a monosemous subset of natural language referred to as a controlled natural language (CNL).Today we are nowhere near to bridging the gap between the two approaches.In this presentation I argue that despite elusiveness of this goal, FrameNet might provide a sufficient insight into the deeper semantic layers of the natural language to envision a new kind of a rich CNL narrowing the gap with the true natural language.A blueprint for PAO, a procedural CNL of such new kind is discussed.
