Abstract

Lexical choice is the problem of determining what words to use for the concepts in the domain representation. In this paper, we offer a model of the choice of projective terms such as vor, davor, vorn etc. that is based on abductive reasoning. After a motivation for the need to treat these lexical items as candidates for lexical choice, we outline the semantic and pragmatic conditions for their use.We present an abductive proof method that allows us to collect these conditions. Sets of collected conditions can be mapped unambiguously to corresponding projective items.
