Representing Attitudes: Some Primitive States.

Abstract

A natural language utterance may denote an attitude--a disposition of a person toward another person, object, activity, or state. In order to represent the meaning of such utterances, the writers propose a small set of primitive attitudinal states. Sentences which denote attitudes can then be represented in terms of these attitudinal primitives. The utility of this representation is demonstrated by its ability to organize inferences needed for natural language understanding.
