This is the first volume to take up topics in Bayesian Natural Language Interpretation and make proposals based on information theory, probability theory, and related fields. The methodologies offered here extend to the target semantic and pragmatic analyses of computational natural language interpretation.   Bayesian approaches to natural language semantics and pragmatics are based on methods from signal processing and the causal Bayesian models pioneered by especially Pearl. In signal processing, the Bayesian method finds the most probable interpretation by finding the one that maximizes the product of the prior probability and the likelihood of the interpretation. It thus stresses the importance of a production model for interpretation as in Grice?s contributions to pragmatics or in interpretation by abduction. 410 0$aLanguage, Cognition, and Mind,$x2364-4109 ;$v2 606 $aSemantics 606 $aComputational linguistics 606 $aNatural language processing (Computer science) 606 $aApplication software 606 $aSemantics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N39000 606 $aComputational Linguistics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N22000 606 $aNatural Language Processing (NLP)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I21040 606 $aComputer Appl. in Arts and Humanities$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I23036 615 0$aSemantics. 615 0$aComputational linguistics. 615 0$aNatural language processing (Computer science) 615 0$aApplication software. 615 14$aSemantics. 615 24$aComputational Linguistics. 615 24$aNatural Language Processing (NLP). 615 24$aComputer Appl. in Arts and Humanities. 676 $a519.542 702 $aZeevat$b Henk$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSchmitz$b Hans-Christian$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484524803321 996 $aBayesian Natural Language Semantics and Pragmatics$92844463 997 $aUNINA
