Abstract

Most Natural Language Processing systems use a sequential architecture embodying classical linguistic layers. When one works with a general language and not a sublanguage, there are different cases of ambiguities at different classical levels; and more particularly when one works on complex language phenomena analysis (coordination, ellipsis, negation...) it is difficult to take into account all the different types of these constructions with a general grammar. Indeed, the inconvenience of this approach is the possible risk of a combinatory explosion. So we have defined the TALISMAN architecture that includes linguistic agents that correspond either to classical levels in linguistics (morphology, syntax, semantic) or to complex language phenomena analysis.
