Abstract

We deal with two main issues in this article for the contexts of Vietnamese paragraphs composing two simple sentences having the main feature: the first sentence has two identical objects connected by copula “là”; the second sentence has one anaphoric pronoun indicating human. As the special context, between two identical objects at the first sentence there is only one is actually referred to by the pronoun at the second sentence. At the first issue, we express the mechanism for determining exact antecedents of anaphoric human pronouns and building the meaning representation structure for each sentential pair. We continue to present techniques for analyzing this structure for the issue which is to determine main contents and relationships. Then, we propose the method to generate a new complete Vietnamese sentence having the content which summarizes the meaning of the original pair of sentences.
