Annotation

How can the unambiguousness of the individual representations be guaranteed in pragmatic-semantic text interpretation, considered as theoretical text processing? The concept of pragmatic-semantic interpretation is explicated, and a text-theoretical framework is described. Within this framework the normed natural language, the quasi-canonical natural language, and the canonical language are discussed as representation languages.
