Abstract: The three lexicons used by KBMT-89 are described: A concept lexicon constitutes the sublanguage domain model for specifying semantic information; it is maintained by Ontos, a knowledge-acquisition and maintenance system. An analysis lexicon is a dictionary containing syntactic information and mapping rules required for semantic parsing. And a generation lexicon, similar to the analysis lexicon, is employed in the generation phase.
