Constructing compact representations of ambiguous language
Carl M. Vogel · Arrow@dit (Dublin Institute of Technology) · 1997
An application of DRT to the development of a computational semantics for a broad coverage fragment of German is described#2; The archi#3; tecture of the system is in#4;uenced by human use of natural language in that initial process#3; ing is a fast but shallow process#2; For any sen#3; tence in the fragment#5; a single representation is constructed from which exactly the appropriate disambiguations can be enumerated or reasoned with directly if full analysis isn#6;t essential#2; The representational assumptions are outlined#5; as is the scope of the current coverage in the semantic fragment and its implementation. We detail the semantic analysis assumed for questions
