In this paper we present a framework for creating natural language interfaces
to action-based applications. Our framework uses a number of reusable
application-independent components, in order to reduce the effort of creating a
natural language interface for a given application. Using a type-logical
grammar, we first translate natural language sentences into expressions in an
extended higher-order logic. These expressions can be seen as executable
specifications corresponding to the original sentences. The executable
specifications are then interpreted by invoking appropriate procedures provided
by the application for which a natural language interface is being created.
