- An additional comment on parsing & production: I think the real test
- for success for an approach to these problems is if they can explain
- why comprehending garbled input is easier if you have some idea of
- what is likely to be said. That is, the linguistic mechanisms seem
- able to use the grammar (whatever it is that specifies the string-
- structure relationship) in such a way that *partial* knowledge of both
- the overt string and the semantic structures can be fleshed out into
- a full picture of both. My impression is that there are guys at
- CMU & elsewhere working on this, but not with exciting results.
