Humans have an extraordinary capability to combine different types
of information in a single meaningful interpretation. The quickness
with which interpretation processes evolve suggests the existence
of a uniform procedure for all domains. In this book the authors
suggest that such a procedure can be found. They concentrate on the
introduction of a theory of interpretation, and they define a model
that enables a meaningful representation of knowledge, based on a
dynamic view of information and a cognitive model of human
information processing. The book consists of three parts. The first
part focuses on the properties of signs and sign interpretation; in
the second part the authors introduce a model that complies with
the conditions for sign processing set by the first part; and in
the third part they examine applications of their model in the
domain of logic, natural language, reasoning and mathematics.
Finally they show how these domains pop up as perspectives in an
overall model of knowledge representation. The reader is assumed to
have some interest in human information processing and knowledge
modeling. Natural language is considered in the obvious sense,
familiarity with linguistic theories is not required. Sign
theoretical concepts are restricted to a manageable subset, which
is introduced gently. Finally, some familiarity with basic concepts
of propositional and syllogistic logic may be useful.
