The paper suggests a new interpretation of the three versions of the theory of SK-languages (standard knowledge languages) developed by the author of the present paper in several previous publications. The theory of SK-languages (SKL-theory) is the central constituent of the theory of K-representations (knowledge representations), or TKR, introduced in early 2000s by the author of the paper. The three versions of the SKL-theory are considered as mathematical models of the variety of semantic representations (SRs) of arbitrarily complex sentences and discourses in natural language (NL). The possibilities of interactions of several original expressive mechanisms of the SKL- theory while constructing SRs of the scientific notions’ definitions are demonstrated. The broadest prospects of describing semantic structure of sentences and discourses in NL pertaining to biology and medicine are indicated. A special attention is paid to explicating the advantages of TKR-based approach to building SRs of scientific definitions in comparison with Universal Conceptual Cognitive Annotation, Abstract Meaning Representation, and Uniform Meaning Representation. The second objective of the paper is to demonstrate the possibilities of an original algorithm of semantic parsing of the scientific notions’ definitions suggested in one of the previous publications of the author. The output of the algorithm are SRs of the scientific notions’ definitions being the expressions of SK-languages.

Предлагается новая интерпретация ранее разработанных автором трех версий теории стандартных кон­цептуальных языков (СКязыков). Эти три версии рассматриваются как математические модели многообра­зия семантических представлений (СП) произвольно сложных предложений и связных текстов (дискурсов) на естественном языке. Исследуются возможности взаимодействия ряда оригинальных выразительных механиз­мов при построении СП определений научных понятий средствами теории СК языков, являющейся центральной частью теории концептуальных представлений (ТКП). Значительное внимание уделяется описанию преиму­ществ подхода, базирующегося на ТКП, по сравнению с основными современными зарубежными подходами. Демонстрируются возможности оригинального алгоритма семантического анализа определений научных поня­тий, предложенного в одной из предыдущих публикаций автора. Выходом алгоритма являются СП определений научных понятий, являющиеся выражениями СК языков.
