Abstract
This paper describes an object-oriented, message-passing system for natural language text understanding. The application domain is the texts of Texas Instruments' patent descriptions. The object-oriented environment permits syntactic analysis modules to communicate with domain knowledge modules to resolve ambiguities as they arise.
