Abstract

Information retrieval, in the broadest sense of the term, includes a concern with 'expert' or 'knowledge-based' systems and their potential future successors. It is unlikely that sophisticated systems of this sort can be developed in such a way as to use an entire natural language without the assistance of an advanced, unified theory of language and logic. The need for and probable character of such a theory are discussed.
