A new well-formedness criterion for semantics debugging
Dan Flickinger, Alexander Koller, Stefan Thater · Proceedings of the International Conference on Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar · 2005
We present a novel well-formedness condition for underspecified semantic representations which requires that every correct MRS representation must be a net. We argue that (almost) all correct MRS representations are indeed nets, and apply this condition to identify a set of eleven rules in the English Resource Grammar (ERG) with bugs in their semantics component. Thus we demonstrate that the net test is useful in grammar debugging.
