@TECHREPORT{AICPub673:1982, AUTHOR={Grosz, Barbara J. and Haas, Norman and Hendrix, Gary and Hobbs, Jerry and Martin, Paul and Moore, Robert and Robinson, Jane and Rosenschein, Stanley}, TITLE={Dialogic: A Core Natural-Language Processing System}, ADDRESS={333 Ravenswood Ave., Menlo Park, CA 94025}, INSTITUTION={AI Center, SRI International}, MONTH={Nov}, NUMBER={270}, YEAR={1982}, ABSTRACT={The DIALOGIC system translates English sentences into representations of their literal meaning in the context of an utterance. These representations, or ``logical forms, are intended to be a purely formal language that is as close as possible to the structure of natural language, while providing the semantic compositionality necessary for meaning-dependent computational processing. The design of DIALOGIC (and of its constituent modules) was influenced by the goal of using it as the core language-processing component in a variety of systems, some of which are transportable to new domains of application.} }
