Incremental Neo-Davidsonian semantic construction for TAG
Asad Sayeed, Vera Demberg · 2012
We propose a Neo-Davidsonian semantics approach as a framework for constructing a semantic interpretation simultaneously with a strictly incremental syntactic derivation using the PLTAG formalism, which supports full connectedness of all words under a single node at each point in time. This paper explains why Neo-Davidsonian semantics is particularly suitable for incremental semantic construction and outlines how the semantic construction process works. We focus also on quantifier scope, which turns out to be a particularly interesting question in the context of incremental TAG.
