从组合原则的角度审视 DRT

摘要

话语表现理论 DRT（ Discourse Representation Theory）的组合性问题一直受到学界关注。DRT 的组合问题，涉及到 DRS（ Discourse Representation Structure）自身的构造问题，还涉及到DRT 能否为自然语言提供组合的语义表征，即像蒙太格语法 MG（Montague Grammar）那样做到句法和语义的对应。不少学者尝试给出组合版本的 DRT。Jan van EijcK 和 Hans Kamp 为解决DRT 的组合问题，对 DRS 进行合理的重构。Zeevat，MusKens，EijcK 和 Kamp 等人也从自然语言的句法生成和 DRS 的构造关系的角度思考 DRT 关于句法和语义的对应话题。%The compositional problems of DRT( Discourse Representation Theory)have been con-cerned in educational circles for a long time. The compositional problems of DRT include the con-struction problems of DRS(Discourse Representation Structure)itself and also include the question whether DRT can provide a compositional representation for natural language,for example the corre-spondence between syntax and semantics represented within Montague Grammar. Many learners tried to give compositional DRT. Jan van EijcK and Hans Kamp reconstructed DRS properly in order to solve the compositional problems of DRT. Zeevat,MusKens,EijcK,Kamp and so on considered the question of the correspondence between syntax and semantics on DRT from the point of the syntax gen-eration of natural language and DRS construction.
