A summarizer is like a playwright, a bilingual person, or a cartoonist, all of whom possess, among other things, more formulation skills than normal interlocutors in everyday conversation. In order to represent more professional communicators, the general situated communicator of Fig.

Text meaning representation In Fig. 7 propositions are used to state facts. They also serve as arguments for other propositions. In this way, more complex propositions are built up. We also find propositions that use a semantic relation as predicate and propositions as arguments (compare numbers 5 and 7). They state semantic relationships between propositions. Extending this approach, propositional representations for a discourse as a whole have been developed. Sets of discourse relations are found, for example, in HOVY93.

They allow language to be used to create representations comparable to those deriving from direct acquaintance with the world. They relate words to the world by way of conception and perception. Mental models are in people's minds; what they look like in detail is an open empirical question. We can assume, however, that a primary source of mental models - three-dimensional kinematic models of the world - is perception. Mental models cannot be unique for every state of affairs, rather they must be constructed from (reusable) tokens arranged in a particular structure.
