[*] Katz and Fodor's influential early approach to semantics is to be found in Katz and Fodor (1963), [*] while Minsky's equally influential 'frames' paper was eventually published as Minsky (1981). [*] Schank (1972) introduces his notion of [*] conceptual dependency , while Schank and Abelson (1977) [*] does the same for scripts. Partitioned semantic networks first appear in Hendrix (1975), and [*] Brachman and Schmolze (1985) provide an overview of KL-ONE, [*] and Sondheimer, Weischedel and Bobrow (1984) indicate its relevance to NLP. [*] The role of discourse structure in resolving pronominal reference is the subject of Grosz (1977). [*] Procedural semantics gets careful critical discussion in Woods (1981). [*] Montague's work can be found in his posthumous 1974 collection, [*] but readers are advised to approach it via the Dowty et al. (1981) [*] textbook.
The seminal work on automatic induction of grammars is Gold (1967), [*] Power and Longuet-Higgins (1978) report results in one very specific domain, [*] and Selfridge (1986) offers a rather different perspective on language learning. [*] Tsujii (1986) and King (1987) look at the prospects for MT, [*] [*] the history of the area is engagingly told by Slocum (1985) and [*] Hutchins (1986), [*] and more material on the history of NLP in general can be gleaned from Barr and Feigenbaum (1981, Sections IV.A and V.A.), [*] Tennant (1981), [*] Sparck-Jones and Wilks (1983, Section I), [*] Ritchie and Thompson (1984), [*] Grosz et al. (1986, especially the introduction), [*] Ballard and Jones (1987), [*] and Lehnert (1988). [*] Gazdar et al. (1987) provides a near-exhaustive listing [*] of NLP work done in the 1980-7 period. Johnson (1985), Wahlster (1986) and Schwartz (1987) are relevant reading for anyone with an [*] [*] [*] interest in the commercial applications of NLP products, whilst Pullum (1987) sounds a cautionary note in respect of military applications. [*] Two important and difficult problems, neither addressed in this book, which need solutions if NLP products are to become widespread, are (i) how to deal with ill-formed input (Weischedel and Sondheimer 1983), [*] and (ii) the evaluation of the performance of NLP systems (Guida and Mauri 1986). [*] Winograd (1983), [*] Grishman (1986) [*] and Allen (1987) provide [*] textbook introductions to NLP that are not tied to specific programming languages. Unusually, more than one-half of Allen's book is devoted to semantic and pragmatic issues in NLP, and is thus somewhat complementary to the present book.
