Abstract

The Naproche CNL is a controlled natural language for mathematical texts. A recent addition to the Naproche CNL are plural statements. We discuss the collective-distributive ambiguity in the context of mathematical language, as well as pairwise interpretations of collective plurals. Additionally, we present a special scope ambiguity conjunctions give rise to. Finally, we describe an innovative plural interpretation algorithm implemented in Naproche for disambiguating plurals in DRT and giving them the interpretation that would normally be preferred in a mathematical context.
