The invention discloses a text inference method based on limited semantic dependency analysis. The method comprises the following steps of: 1, according to a semantic dependency representation mechanism, establishing a Chinese text inference marking resource, wherein a text inference marking instance comprises a text T, a hypothesis H, a semantic dependency graph of the hypothesis and an inference type; 2, on the basis of the Chinese text inference marking resource, performing semantic dependency analysis on the hypothesis H which is newly input under the limitation of the text T which is newly input so as to judge whether the text T can infer the hypothesis H; and 3, evaluating, analyzing and summarizing an analysis process and a judgment result of the step 2, and improving the performance of the analysis process with feedback. By adoption of the method, the judgment of text inference is formalized into the problem of the limited semantic dependency analysis, and the text inference extends from entailment to preset and implication in type. The method contributes to processing of the inference of discourse and dialogue corpora which are relatively complicated.
