“Chair” is
morphologically ambiguous –
|
|
can be either a
noun or a verb. NL-Soar tries both
trees,
|
|
But the syntax
module rejects “chair” as a verb (green X on left).
|
|
This causes
semantic module to throw out all the verb-classes which include a sense of
the word “chair” (green X on right through v-social)
|
|
|
|
This still
leaves two noun-classes: n-artifact and n-person.
|
|
N-artifact is
more common, and is tried first.
|
|
But v-body
rejects n-artifact as a subject, so it fails constraint.
|
|
NL-Soar then
tries n-person (e.g., dept. chair), which succeeds.
