Scaling Construction Grammar up to Production Systems: the SCIM
Guillaume Pitel (INRIA Lorraine - LORIA)

TL;DR
The paper introduces the SCIM, a model that unifies Construction Grammar with Production Systems to better mimic cognitive processing in understanding language.
Contribution
It extends Construction Grammar to integrate with Production Systems, bridging linguistic formality with cognitive processing models.
Findings
SCIM effectively models language understanding processes.
The approach demonstrates compatibility with cognitive theories.
It offers a unified framework for linguistic and cognitive modeling.
Abstract
While a great effort has concerned the development of fully integrated modular understanding systems, few researches have focused on the problem of unifying existing linguistic formalisms with cognitive processing models. The Situated Constructional Interpretation Model is one of these attempts. In this model, the notion of "construction" has been adapted in order to be able to mimic the behavior of Production Systems. The Construction Grammar approach establishes a model of the relations between linguistic forms and meaning, by the mean of constructions. The latter can be considered as pairings from a topologically structured space to an unstructured space, in some way a special kind of production rules.
