Lexical choice and conceptual perspective in the generation of plural referring expressions (original) (raw)

2007, Journal of Logic, Language and Information

AI-generated Abstract

This paper investigates the generation of plural referring expressions within the framework of computational semantics. It develops an algorithm that takes into account the conceptual coherence of a set when referring to its elements, arguing that a speaker's lexical choice can reveal their conceptual perspective. The research emphasizes the need for considering related properties of elements when generating describing phrases, ultimately aiming to enhance the effectiveness of referring expressions in communication.
