Abstract

The work presented here is a preliminary study concerning the automatic translation of French natural language statements into the RESEDA semantic metalanguage. The text in natural language is first (pre) processed in order to obtain its syntactic structure. The "semantic parsing" process begins with marking the "triggers", defined as lexical units which call one or more of the predicative patterns allowed for in the metalanguage. The patterns obtained are then merged, and their case slots filled with the elements found in the surface structure according to the predictions associated with the slots.
