Meaning–text theory
open-in-new
<p>Meaning–text theory (MTT) is a <a href="/facts/Theoretical_linguistics/15wbqaY1">theoretical linguistic</a> framework, first put forward in Moscow by Aleksandr Žolkovskij and <a href="/facts/Igor_Mel%2527%25C4%258Duk/aYw5Kb5c">Igor Mel’čuk</a>, for the construction of models of natural language. The theory provides a large and elaborate basis for linguistic description and, due to its <a href="/facts/Formal_system/KaeDAjK7">formal</a> character, lends itself particularly well to <a href="/facts/Natural_language_processing/1hjMKsSN">computer applications</a>, including <a href="/facts/Machine_translation/DGF3NwuI">machine translation</a>, <a href="/facts/Phraseology/P4Fx24mW">phraseology</a>, and <a href="/facts/Lexicography/3btFWjIx">lexicography</a>. </p>
