Abstract

Pragmatics, situated in the domains of linguistics and computational linguistics, explores the influence of context on language interpretation, extending beyond the literal meaning of expressions. It constitutes a fundamental element for natural language understanding in machine intelligence. With the advancement of large language models, the research focus in natural language processing has predominantly shifted toward high-level task processing, inadvertently downplaying the importance of foundational pragmatic processing tasks. Nevertheless, pragmatics serves as a crucial medium for unraveling human language cognition. The exploration of pragmatic processing stands as a pivotal facet in realizing linguistic intelligence. This survey encompasses important pragmatic processing techniques for subjective and emotive tasks, such as personality recognition, sarcasm detection, metaphor understanding, aspect extraction, and sentiment polarity detection. It spans theoretical research, the forefront of pragmatic processing techniques, and downstream applications, aiming to highlight the significance of these low-level tasks in advancing natural language understanding and linguistic intelligence.

实用处理技术调查

语用学属于语言学和计算语言学的范畴，探讨语境对语言解释的影响，超越表达的字面意义。它是机器智能中自然语言理解的基本要素。随着大型语言模型的发展，自然语言处理的研究重点主要转向高级任务处理，无意中淡化了基础语用处理任务的重要性。然而，语用学是揭示人类语言认知的重要媒介。对语用加工的探索是实现语言智能的一个关键方面。本调查涵盖了用于主观和情感任务的重要语用处理技术，如个性识别、讽刺检测、隐喻理解、方面提取和情感极性检测。它横跨理论研究、语用处理技术的前沿和下游应用，旨在强调这些低级任务在推进自然语言理解和语言智能方面的重要意义。
