Towards Linguistically-Grounded Spatial Logics

pdf-format:
Document 1.pdf (245 KB)

Abstract

We propose a method to analyze the amount of coverage and adequacy of spatial calculi by relating a calculus to a linguistic ontology for space by using similarities and linguistic corpus data. This allows evaluating whether and where a spatial calculus can be used for natural language interpretation. It can also lead to 'more appropriate' spatial logics for spatial language.
