چکیده
We present an implementation of a discourse parsing system for a lexicalized Tree-Ajoining Grammar for discourse, specifying the integration of sentence and discourse level processing. Our system is based on the assumption that the compositional aspects of semantics at the discourse-level parallel those at the sentence-level. This coupling is achieved by factoring away inferential semantics and anaphoric features of discourse connectives. Computationally, this parallelism is achieved because both the sentence and discourse grammar are LTAG-based and the same parser works at both levels. The approach to a LTAG for discourse has been developed by (Webber & Joshi 1998; Webber et al. 1999b) (among others) in some recent papers. Our system takes a discourse as input, parses the sentences individually, extracts the basic discourse units from the sentence derivations, and reparses the discourse with reference to the discourse grammar.

متن کاملPrinciple Based Semantics for HPSG
The paper presents a constraint based semantic formalism for HPSG. The syntax-semantics interface directly implements syntactic conditions on quantifier scoping and distributivity. 1 The construction of semantic representations is guided" by general principles governing the interaction between syntax and semantics. Each of these principles acts as a constraint to narrow down the set of possible...
