  • Abstract
    This paper presents a way of restricting human languages for use in natural language interfaces. The proposal is to simplify the kind of knowledge stored in the database. The simplification is based on Piaget´s (1970) structuralist theory of mother structures and on partial evaluation. A system has been implemented and the main features are discussed in this paper
