Abstract
We present a tableau calculus for reasoning in fragments of natural
language. We focus on the problem of pronoun resolution and the way
in which it complicates automated theorem proving for natural language
processing. A method for explicitly manipulating contextual information
during deduction is proposed, where pronouns are resolved against this
context during deduction. As a result, pronoun resolution and deduction
can be interleaved in such a way that pronouns are only resolved if
this is licensed by a deduction rule; this helps us to avoid the
combinatorial complexity of total pronoun disambiguation.
