Publisher's Synopsis
This book presents a powerful new tool for language understanding and processing - logic grammars. Logic is used, via Prolog, to analyze natural languages and represent their semantics. Combined with the traditional forte of logic programming, reasoning and symbolic processing, logic grammars give a unique formalism for research in linguistics and for applications of linguistics in natural language interfaces.;The book shows how the use of logic for natural language understanding is becoming a major trend in computational linguistics - mainly due to the clarity of its semantics and the uniformity of approach to linguistic phenomena.
