Seeing the language: a diagrammatic approach to natural discourse
Synthese 186 (1):411-439 (2012)
| Abstract | The key idea behind the diagrammatic approach presented in the paper is that the sophisticated mechanisms of human visual construction also play an important role in natural languages. We propose a diagrammatic representation of English, giving examples, translation rules, and semantics. Special attention will be paid to anaphoric phenomena, in particular, the possibility of a uniform treatment of anaphoric pronouns | |||||||||
