A Logic Semantics Study On "noun+noun" Of Modern Chinese For Chinese Information Processing

Based on the theory of Intentional Logic Semantics, absorbing the delicacy of traditional Chinese lexicology, this paper focus on the semantic analysis of nouns of modern Chinese for Chinese Information processing, attempting to study the semantic structure of nouns by extracting its abstract synonymity ,in order to realize the formal expression of Chinese semantic analysis and explanation. After analysis the semantic structure of the representative monosyllable nouns "guan"(barrier) "mu"(wood) "dao"(knife) "che"(vehicle) "shou"(hand) "shu"(book) , we build the initial semantic structure model of nouns which contain the meaning of Location, material , part , artificial articles etc. Based on it, we can throw lights on the semantic structure, on the syntactic combination, on the semantic restriction of the lexical items respectively when the nouns collocate with other nouns. This is a new approach and method on the study of semantic combination rules of Chinese nouns which attempting to explain complicated Chinese meaning by intentional features. It also can provide new theory support on the Chinese Information processing and solve the problem which Statistical method fail to do. There are six chapters in this paper. Chapter one is giving the background, the situation, the problems, the target and our strategy. Chinese belong to the language of semantic type without formal mark, so it needs the construction of semantic informations. There's shortcoming in the statistical method for Chinese Information processing but there's great value in the method based on semantic rules. There are something unsolved on nouns' property, definition, classification and function in the Chinese grammatist circle and computerman circle, so it's necessary to enhance the semantic study on "noun+noun". This paper's target is build the semantic combination model of "noun+noun" by analyzing the semantic structure and collocation among the members in the structure of nouns, in order to provide the formal rules for machine syncopation and semantic understanding. It's also a new method for semantic differentiation of homomorphic words, semantic structure analysis of NP phrase, semantic understanding of newcome words. After analyzing the excellent study achievement of preceding semantics and absorbing the delicacy of plereme analysis method and traditional Chinese lexicology, we inventively set our strategy on intentional features and congruence principle , abstract synonymity which can solve semantic problems of Chinese. Chapter two aims to build the framework with intentional logic theory for semantic explanation and understanding of words. As a first step, this paper gives the definition on words, meaning, concept, intention and denotation and explain the relation between the intentions and between the denotations by Set theory. We consider nouns as lexical items for referring entities which include physical entities and abstract entities, so nouns own its intentional property, namely semantic feature. After founding the two concepts: "definitional feature" and "situational differentiating feature", we analyze the composing elements of definitional feature of nouns and introduce the method for judging definitional feature. We illustrate the combining rules of intentions of concepts, giving explanation for the restrictions on syntactic collocation due to hierarchy and orientation of features, for the combining rules of intention and denotation between two nouns. After analyzing how intention and denotation of concepts correspond to word class, we argue that intentional feature operator is the mark for judging whether a noun adopts intentional meaing. Chapter three discusses the theory of abstract synonymity. On defining the basic unit of Chinese and concept of word, we attempt to set congruence principle as our criterion for deciding whethera glossary includes a word on problem. We show the exact ways to deal with the problem of boundary of Chinese language units, the problem of polysemous words, the problem of the wo...
