| Popis: | This paper presents the treatment of quantification as it was implemented in a prototype of a natural language relational database interface for Dutch. It is shown how the theoretical 'generalized quantifier' apparatus introduced in formal semantics by Barwise and Cooper can be tuned to implementational feasibility. Compared to the traditional treatment of quantification, the alternative presented here offers greater expressive power, greater similarity to natural language and, as a consequence, the possibility of a more straightforward translation from natural language to formal representation. |
