A Study on the Automatic Identification of the Semantic Truth-Value of "Chayidian Mei P" Construction

Article Preview

Abstract:

The chayidian mei P(almost not P) construction has two possible semantic truth-values, namely P and not P, for which reason the computer fails to identify the true value of its semantics by the conventional syntactic rules. Many methods with poor operability were deduced to identify the semantic truth-value, leaving many cases unable to be explained with these methods. This paper employs deductive method to demonstrate that the hearer identifies the semantic truth-value by comparing the occurrence possibilities of P and not P, providing an alternative for computer to automatically recognize the semantic truth-value of the construction.
