AUTOMATIC ENGLISH SENTENCE ANALYSIS
Abstract
Part I: The LINGUISTICS Group describes work on the Multistore Procedure for analysis of English sentences. Previous reports are given as abstracts and subsequent developments are described. Machine-economics have been introduced in various aspects of the procedure; the general table of correlators has been refined; a corpus of texts has been key-punched and processed to provide data for analysis of explicit correlators; this analysis is partly completed. The procedure for reclassification of intermediate products is described. Part II: The MATHEMATICS Group reports work on aspects of the structure of language. Considering the sentence as codification of thought, and thought as a complex of mental items between which certain relations hold, the report considers the source of these mental items, under three headings: (1) sense-perceptions, (2) reflections, (3) inter-personal communication. The structure of language is found to be characterized by the way in which relations between mental items are codified.
