Towards a Bridge between Cognitive Linguistics and Formal Ontology

摘要

To build an ontology of a domain, it is necessary to categorize this domain with objects, relations between objects, process acting onto objects, process transforming a state and building an event and so on ... Often, these different entities and relations must be identified inside linguistic segments (nominal phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs titles ·..) by means of syntactic and semantic annotations. The Cognitive and Applicative Grammar (CAG) is a polystratal model (Descles, 1990, 2004, 2005), that extends the Shaumyan's Universal Applicative Grammar (1987). This model opens a way towards a sound bridge between Formal Ontology, Logics, Cognitive Linguistics and Natural Language Processing to annotate texts.
