Conceptual Memory: A Theory and Computer Program for Processing the Meaning Content of Natural Language Utterances

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA000086 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Humans perform vast quantities of spontaneous, subconscious computation in order to understand even the simplest language utterances. The computation is principally meaning-based. With syntax and traditional semantics playing insignificant roles. This thesis supports this conjecture by synthesis of a theory and computer program which account for many aspects of language behavior in humans. It is a theory of language and memory.
