Research Abstract |
We developed a meaning representation system in which the denotation of each action is expressed as a sequence of sets of motions around joints and is represented as a sequence of modal-logical formulae. We also suggested a possibility that the non-specificity of the lexical meanings of action verbs in time and location is reducible to the sensory-motor memory as their user performs that action physically or only neurologically.
