Bridging the gap between underspecification formalisms
Alexander Koller, Joachim Niehren, Stefan Thater · 2003
We define a back-and-forth translation between Hole Semantics and dominance constraints, two formalisms used in underspecified semantics. There are fundamental differences between the two, but we show that they disappear on practically useful descriptions. Our encoding bridges a gap between two underspecification formalisms, and speeds up the processing of Hole Semantics.
