| Research Abstract |
Base on data in Standard Japanese, Standard Korean, English and Miyako Ryukyuan, we have constructed a model of the inference used in daily speech, explaining the properties of evidential inference, and showing the relationship between abductive and evidential inference. We studied tense, spatial expressions and' pseudo-usage' and clarified the role of inference in natural language understanding. We studied the probabilistic properties of inference involved in the inferential model using Relevance Theory and proposed a computational model that enables us to give a common computation for the strength of belief in indicative and counterfactual conditionals
