Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this project has been the construction of the data set which can evaluate the preciseness of the predictions made by a theory of grammar. We have a theory which can derive a semantic representation based on the syntactic structure, and we strived for identifying the crucial example sentences which will distinguish an adequate theory of grammar from inadequate ones. However, it turned out that a much more specific theory of argument structures and the interpretation of nominal expressions is necessary in order to provide a full range of predictions, we devoted to develop the description of the mental Lexicon so that we can proceed to the construction of the data set in the next step.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

当初の目標とは少し異なるが、動詞の項構造をどのように記述し、それがどのように文構造に反映されるかというプロセスが具体的になりつつあることは、理論言語学にとって非常に意義のあることだと考えている。これまで文法システムの整備ばかりが注目されてきたが、実用に結びつけるためには、辞書の整備が不可欠である。本プロジェクトで進めている理論のように、文法システムと辞書の両方を持つものは、将来的にはコンピュータに実装しうる形式であり、AIへの貢献も十分に考えられる。
