PART B_2

Have you ever wondered if it would be possible for humans to have a natural conversation with computers? Well, the answer is no. There are a lot of factors behind it. One of them is that the human language contains statements that are sometimes implicit in meaning. This kind of statements could not be understood by computers as they sound incomplete to them. Implicit statements convey messages that are not expressed clearly. For instance, the sentence “There’s a really good Italian restaurant near my house” could have different meanings depending on the situation. Some people may interpret this as simply giving information. While others may take this as an invitation to eat at the restaurant.

Listeners interpret implicit statements based on situations. So, to avoid confusions, a British linguist named Paul Grice came up with a rule of conversations which he called the Cooperative Principle. Grice suggested four standards to have a natural conversation which are the quantity, quality, relation, and manner. For quantity, speakers should give the proper amount of information needed. Meanwhile, they are also expected to give true and complete information. They should also give information that is relevant to the topic. Lastly, speakers should always be clear and direct.

Due to the kind of statement mentioned above, it would be impossible for humans and computers to converse in human language.

Canoe
The Hokule’a traveled to Japan from Hawaii. Its crew members were divided into three teams. They took turns on steering the canoe which was their most important task. Uchino was one of the crew members. Their team worked from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m.
As they ended their trip in Yokohama on June 9, 2007, she gained deeper appreciation and understanding of nature. She realized that nature provides everything that humans need. And for humans to enjoy the gifts of nature, they must learn how nature works.
Uchino also mentioned that a canoe is like the planet Earth. We must raise questions and figure out what is our role as crew members of the “canoe”. Where do we want to go? Do we value our “canoe”? Humans are part of nature, both are connected to each other. If we work together with nature, we can make Earth more beautiful and a better place to live.

(Please send the mispronounced words and expressions to your student.)

PART B_2

Computers will never be able to have a natural conversation with humans, no matter how hard scientists try to make it possible. It is because human language use statements with meanings that cannot be explained in words clearly. They are called implicit statements which vary on situations and words used.
The statements’ meanings could sometimes be implicit or explicit which depend on a variety of situations. For example, the meaning and response to the statement “There’s a really good restaurant near my house.” could be explicit or implicit. The explicit meaning conveys direct information while the implicit meaning could be an invitation to eat at the restaurant. To understand the speaker, the listener should interpret the implicit meanings of statements used. The speaker should also be able to make the listener understand depending on his or her purpose if the listener was not able to understand its implicit meaning.
Conversations could be done without problems by choosing suitable words and giving proper quantity of true, direct, and useful information. Also, conversations between people of different cultures could sometimes result in problems due to implicit statements. So, background knowledge about different cultures is important to improve conversations between people of different cultures.
