;	 Linguistic Structure meets Knowledge Representation

;One of the crucial problems facing natural language research is the
;interpretation of language in context. This requires not only
;sophisticated systems to analyze the underlying structure of language,
;but also the representation of general knowledge about the world, and
;the modelling of natural inference processes. In this talk I will look
;at one particular problem that requires both structural constraints
;and inference in order to identify the correct interpretation, namely
;the identification of the intentions of the speaker.
