Hello everyone,
I surely just did not correctly get it in the lecture, but I am unsure about understanding on the semantic and pragmatic level.
Am I right assuming the following explanations for these levels:
Semantic: Does there exist any meaning of the sentence without checking it to our world's knowledge? But then why does 'The mouse lost a feather as it took off.' not make sense on the semantic level (if we disregard the world's context)?
Pragmatic: Is the meaning of the sentence compatible regarding our common knowledge of the world? But why does 'Some sentences is hard understand to.' not allow for a pragmatic interpretation?
Moreover, in an NLP context, the processing levels are interdependent. But for sentence interpretation, do we require that a sentence makes sense on lower levels to even be considered on a higher one?
Thanks in advance!
Best,
Philipp
