计算语用学研究的途径和方法

Study on the Approaches and Methods in Computational Pragmatics

计算语用学是一门新兴的计算语言学分支,主要从计算的角度研究语言理解与语境之间的关系。哲学和语言学角度的语用学研究成果为计算语用学的发展打下了基础,而形式语用学的发展又为建立科学的计算模型提供了可行的参考。文章在已有研究成果的基础上,结合语言学领域语用学研究的主要论题和形式语用学研究的主要方法与手段,探讨了计算语用学研究的实现途径和方法,提出了计算语用学研究所做的主要工作,包括语言理解与推理的关系、溯因推理及其在自然语言处理中的应用、信任推理、动态语境的构建等。这项工作为计算语用学的应用研究提供了一种崭新的思路。

As a new subject of computational linguistics,Computational Pragmatics（CP） is concerned with the relations between linguistic aspects and context aspects from an explicitly computational point of view.Achievements in pragmatics from the viewpoint of phylosophy and linguistics construct the foundations for CP,while the developments of formal pragmatics provide practicable computational model for CP study.Based on the current research work abroad,approaches and methods in CP researchs are investigated in detail in this paper,which include pragmatic inference,abductive inference,reasoning about beliefs and constructing dynamic context,etc.This work is considered to provide a completely new thought for the study of CP in applications.
