Language processing and grammars : the role of functionally oriented computational models

Language processing and grammars : the role of functionally oriented computational models / edited by Brian Nolan, Institute of Technology Blanchardstown Dublin ; Carlos Periñán-Pascual, Universidad Politécnica de Valencia.

This paper investigates the notion of low-level situational cognitive model, its role in linguistic description and its possible computational treatment in the knowledge base FunGramKB. Low-level situational models are exploited metonymically to produce situation-based implicatures. When such infere...
