Formal Language Decomposition into Semantic Primes

Abstract: This paper describes an algorithm for semantic decomposition. For that we surveys languages used to enrich contextual information with semantic descriptions. Such descriptions can be e.g. applied to enable reasoning when collecting vast amounts of information. In particular, we focus on the elements of the languages that make up their semantic. To do so, we compare the expressiveness of the well-known languages OWL, PDDL and MOF with a theory from linguistic called the Natural Semantic Metalanguage. We then an… Show more

“…However, if not this particular theory, then any other framework that would use primitive semantic carriers of meaning might prove successful. The work of the members of the so-called Moscow School of Semantics (see Apresjan 1992Apresjan , 2000 Mel'čuk 1981) was based on similar principles and has already received attention in practical applications within the field of IT (see Fähndrich 2014 et al). Nonetheless, the outline presented in this paper may become fruitful considering the claims of the major proponents of NSM theory, which is "arguably approaching the standard expectations of a formalized metalanguage for natural language" (Goddard 2006: 544).…”

“…This leads to a semantic network representation (Ontology) of its denotation that represents the connectionist knowledge representation of meaning. Such a decomposition is done until semantic primes are reached, which need no further decomposition [65]. One challenge here is to select the right definitions of the word 14 from the utilised datasources to be used in the decomposition.…”
