A Computational Implementation of Resolving Korean Plural Pronouns

Abstract

There are three third-person plural pronouns in Korean. This paper proposes that the constraint on the antecedent for each plural pronoun is different, and thus in creating the antecedent for a plural pronoun, the relevant constraint must be taken into account. This paper also shows how to implement the method of resolving Korean plural pronouns on the computer, using DCG grammar. The grammar contains information about gap threading and DRS threading. The method of summation based on constraints is used to construct the antecedent for a plural pronoun computationally.
