Funded Activity Summary

Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM): formalisation, computation, referential semantics. Meaning is what links language with culture, communication and cognition but strangely enough, most linguists do not regard semantics (the systematic study of meaning) as a central part of their discipline. This project pursues basic research in the leading meaning-based theory of language: the natural semantic metalanguage (NSM) theory, which has been originated and developed primarily in Australia. It aims to make this theory more precise, to work out how it can be used by computers, and to connect it with other, more mathematically inspired approaches to meaning.
