Thls article deals with the interpretation of conceptual operations underlying the communicative use of natural language (NL) within the Structured Inheritance Network (Sl-Nets) paradigm. The operations are reduced to functions of a f o ~ a l language, thus changing the level of abstraction of the operations to be performed on SI-Nets. In this sense, operations on SI-Nets are not merely isomorphic to single epistemologleal objects, but can be viewed as a simulation of processes on a different level, that pertaining to the conceptual system of NL. For this purpose, we have designed a version of KL-ONE which represents. | AN APPROACH TO NATURAL LANGUAGE IN THE SI-NETS PARADIGti Amedeo Cappeln Lorenzo Ilorettl Istituto dl Lingulstica Computazlonale-CNR Via della Faggiola 32 56100 Pisa - Italy ABSTRACT This article deals with the interpretation of conceptual operations underlying the communicative use of natural language NL within the Structured Inheritance Network Si-Nets paradigm. The operations are reduced to functions of a formal language thus changing the level of abstraction of the operations to be performed on Si-Nets. In this sense operations on Si-Nets are not merely Isomorphic to single epistemological objects but can be viewed as a simulation of processes on a different level that pertaining to the conceptual system of NL. For this purpose we have designed a version of KL-ONE which represents the epistemological level while the new experimental language KL-Conc represents the conceptual level. KL-Conc would seem to be a more natural and Intuitive way of Interacting with Si-Nets. I GOALS The goal of our work Is to Interpret conceptual operations underlying the communicative use of natural language within the Structured Inheritance Networks Si-Nets paradigm. In other words this means using epistemological primitives such as Concepts Roles and Structural Descriptions Brachraan 1979 to represent these conceptual operations. On the one hand epistemological formalism which Is explicit and clear can clarify the behaviour of conceptual operations of NL. By the use of Si-Nets formalism as a means of description a new perspective can be brought out since this formalism makes it possible to represent objects as data types structured in a complex way Instead of considering them as met atomic elements. This feature is likely to change the nature of the operations to be carried out on objects thus leading US to deal with the complexity of many phenomena in a more adequate way. On the other hand this can lead to an Investigation of the relationships between the conceptual aspects of ML .
