1. A computer implemented method of generating declared patterns from components of a sentence, wherein each of said declared patterns is a sequence of pattern units, wherein each of said pattern units corresponds to a portion of text in said sentence, comprising: providing a computer-readable memory tangibly embodying said method as a computer program, wherein execution of the computer program in a computer comprising one or more processors is configured to: providing a conceptionary, wherein said conceptionary is a knowledge representation of items, wherein said items represent concepts, instances, relationships, characteristics, values, units of measure, and sets and aggregations of the items; providing a parts of speech tagger database; providing a first dictionary comprising dictionary entries of words and phrases, wherein said first dictionary further comprises declared categories and emergent categories, further wherein each of said dictionary entries is a term composed of single words and phrases and specifies individual senses of said term; providing a database of equivalent pattern specification sets for a given language, wherein said equivalent pattern specification sets represent different ways of saying the same thing in said given language; providing a second dictionary in a target language comprising an equivalent name set for each sense of a word, wherein said equivalent name set is a set of terms that are semantically close in meaning; for each sentence in a document corpus; tagging parts of speech in the sentence for identifying parts of speech of each word and phrase in the sentence; chunking the sentence using said identified parts of speech of each word and phrase to generate pattern units; identifying grammatical roles and senses of said generated pattern units by applying said first dictionary and said database of equivalent pattern specification sets; identifying an equivalent name set for each of the generated pattern units by applying said second dictionary and the conceptionary; and generating the declared patterns for the sentence using said identified equivalent name set for each of the generated pattern units.
