'MULTISTORE' A PROCEDURE FOR CORRELATIONAL ANALYSIS.

Abstract

After a short introduction to correlational theory, the paper explains and describes a new procedure for correlational analysis for single sentences in English. It shows how grammatical, syntactic, and semantic data can be handled in one coherent program by means of a specially organised memory which we have called the 'Multistore'. The system eliminates the need for comparisons of indices and ascertains the compatibility of elements (in this case, words and phrases) by inserting the indices that characterise each element into preestablished individual 'columns', each of which has its own fixed combination rules based on the rules of wordorder in current English. The system yields a complete listing of the operative correlations (roughly corresponding to syntactic connections) and their hierarchical structure in a given sentence. Summary flow charts and an example of the procedure are added to the text. (Author)
