Abstract

Efforts at constructing natural language computer systems have turned to implementing database query facilities. If the application domain is limited there is renewed hope for the success of natural language interfaces. This paper reviews arguments for and against such facilities, stresses research in human semantic knowledge, and emphasizes controlled psychologically oriented experimentation. The results of recent experiments are reported.
