"Sublanguage Analyses Tools For Case Grammar Based Interfaces"
Many current natural language interfaces utilize a combination of specific
domain constraints and those of case grammar. This results in an interface
that is taylored for a particular domain's sublanguage. While the result-
ing interface may work well, it may not be easily transportable to another
domain. This talk presents a systematic procedure for analyzing a domain's
sublanguage, resulting in a representation that can be compared with that
of another sublanguage to examine the relationship between the two sub-
languages. This type of analysis is useful in the area of building of
porting NLI's as well as in sublanguage analysis.
