logic of natural language (LNL), preliminarily integrated mode, deeply integrated modeAbstract
This paper makes a historic review on the development of the Logic of Natural Language (LNL) in China, which can be roughly divided into three periods: the first period which spanned from the late 1950s to the late 1980s was the initial period of LNL in China; the second period, a transitional period from the preliminarily integrated mode of LNL to the deeply integrated mode of LNL, lasted for the whole decade of the 1990s; the third period was from 2000 on, and during this period the deeply integrated mode became the mainstream of LNL. In today’s China, LNL is not only an important research field of logic, but has also exerted a great impact on linguistic studies and the studies in the field of natural language processing (NLP).
