Abstract

We propose the use of a many-sorted logic based on a boolean lattice of sorts, with polymorphic functions and predicates, for natural language understanding. This type of logic provides a unified framework for various problems such as discourse consistency verification, polysemy and "abuses" of terms, syntactic ambiguity solving and anaphora resolution . In addition, this logic enables intelligent diagnosis of categorial constraint violations between predicates and arguments.
