Abductive Commonsense Reasoning (2019, background): “…reasoning draws inspirations from a signiﬁcant body of work on language-based entailment Bowman et al. (2015); Williams et al. (2018b), language-based logic Lakoff (1970); MacCartney & Manning (2007), and language-based common-sense reasoning Mostafazadeh et al. (2016); Zellers et al. (2018).”
An extended model of natural logic (2009, methodology): “In this paper, we explore a middle way, by developing a model of what Lakoff (1970) called natural logic, which characterizes valid patterns of inference in terms of syntactic forms which are as close as possible to surface forms.”
Modeling Semantic Containment and Exclusion in Natural Language Inference (2008, background): “This work explores a middle way, by developing a computational model of what Lakoff (1970) called natural logic , which characterizes valid patterns of inference in terms of syntactic forms re-sembling natural language as much as possible.”
AdvEntuRe: Adversarial Training for Textual Entailment with Knowledge-Guided Examples (2018, methodology): “1The symbols are based on Natural Logic (Lakoff, 1970) and use the notation of MacCartney and Manning (2012).”
A Natural Proof System for Natural Language (2017, background): “This move fits well into the project of natural logic where inference rules and syntactic rules are strongly related to each other (Lakoff, 1970).”
Grammar is Grammar and Usage is Usage (2003, background): “Then in quick succession, the dividing line between semantics and pragmatics (Lakoff 1970/1972), grammaticality and ungrammaticality (Lakoff 1973), category membership and nonmembership (Ross 1973a,b), and, finally, grammar and usage (Lakoff 1974) were all cast into doubt.”
Natural Logic and Natural Language Inference (2014, methodology): “In this paper, we explore a middle way, by developing a model of what Lakoff [11] called natural logic, which characterizes valid patterns of inference in terms of syntactic forms which are as close as possible to surface forms.”
Exploring End-to-End Differentiable Natural Logic Modeling (2020, background): “2 Natural Logic Natural logic (Lakoff, 1970; van Benthem, 1988; Valencia, 1991; Van Benthem, 1995; Nairn et al., 2006; MacCartney, 2009; Icard, 2012; Angeli et al., 2016) has a long history that is traceable to the syllogisms of Aristotle.”
Natural Logic for Textual Inference (2007, background): “While the roots of natural logic can be traced back to Aristotle’s syllogisms, the modern conception of natural logic began with George Lakoff, who proposed “a logic for natural language” which could “characterize all the valid inferences that can be made in natural language” (Lakoff, 1970).”
The CoNLL-2010 Shared Task: Learning to Detect Hedges and their Scope in Natural Language Text (2010, background): “The term hedging was originally introduced by Lakoff (1972).”
