Abstract

This paper describes research in understanding system specification8 written in natural language. Thill re11earch involves the implementation of a natural language interface, PHRANSPAN, for 8pecifying the ab11tract behavior of digital 8!18tem8 in reiJtricted Englillh text. A neutral formal representation for the behavior ill described UIJing the USC De11ign Data Structure. A •mall IJet of concept• that characterize digital 1Jy11tem behavior are preiJented UIJing thill repreiJentation. An intermediate repreIJentation looiJely ba~ed on Conceptual Dependency ill pre11ented. /tiJ UIJe with a 11emantic-ba1Jed par~er to tran11late from Engli11h to the formal repreiJentation ill illUIJtrated by ezampleiJ.
