Abstract

THALES is a software package for plane geometry constructions, supplied with a natural language interface. Using THALES requires no knowledge of a programming language. The interface is capable of processing practically all kinds of instructions within the subset of plane geometry English. The "static semantic" module has been generated on the basis of a high-level attribute specification. Transportability, modifiability and generality -- the key issues of natural language interface design -- are investigated in the project note. The notion of specifiability is introduced to replace the three features mentioned above.
