Language for Humans and Robots
Condition: SECONDHAND
This is a secondhand book. The jacket image is indicative only and does not represent the condition of this copy. For information about the condition of this book you can email us.
This work is a contribution to the philosophy and psychology of language. The first part develops the author's theory of congruence of meaning which is a generalization of the standard notion of synonomy. The book then presents a number of empirical studies of the syntax and semantics of children's language and develops the author's variable-free semantics, which is meant to express the semantic structure of ordinary language in a more natural way than does first-order logic. The last section of the book is devoted to a number of studies by the author and his colleagues on language interaction with robots, the last study being concerned with robotic machine learning of natural language.
