SOME PATTERNS OBSERVED IN THE CONTEXTUAL SPECIAL IZATION OF WORD SENSES,

Abstract

A criterion is developed for marking those sen tences which should be indicated as being con textually dependent in auto-abstracting and mechanical paraphrasing applications. A procedure is described for choosing which expressions in the sentences so marked chiefly account for the contextual dependence of those sentences. The environments of these expressions were studied to see whether they exhibited any formal regu larities which could be exploited in writing programs to recognize contextually dependent sentences in a text and locate some elements of their linguistic context which could be used to reduce their contextual dependence significantly.
