This book is essential reading for linguists and computer scientists interested in creating computer systems that can understand and communicate with humans. In this area of research, which is still in its infancy, a crucial obstacle to progress is the creation of âmicrogrammars,â which are artificial languages that consist of only a subset of English sentences. The trouble with microgrammars is that their constrained vocabularies and syntax make it difficult for users to know which sentences are valid. The author of this book argues that the solution to this problem is to design microgrammars with âextrapolative symmetry,â which means that the grammar will allow for the generation of new, grammatically valid sentences based on the extrapolation of rules from existing sentences. This would allow users more freedom to communicate with the computer without worrying about breaking the rules of the microgrammar. The author describes different kinds of extrapolation, both syntactic and lexical, which can be programmed into a microgrammar to make it more user-friendly and practical. The authorâs insights into the nature of natural and artificial languages will be of interest to anyone concerned with the challenge of human-computer interaction.
