Semantics of VP coordination in LTAG
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper proposes to give an analysis of VP coordination in the LTAG semantics framework of (Kallmeyer and Joshi, 2003). First the syntax of VP coordination is described using an operation called conjoin. Then we discuss interactions of coordination scope and quantifier scope in simple sentences and their analysis in LTAG. Finally we point out coordination scope ambiguities in embedded sentences that present a problem for the present analysis.

GlueTag Linear Logic based Semantics Construction for LTAG
In this paper we review existing appoaches to semantics construction in LTAG (Lexicalised Tree Adjoining Grammar) which are all based on the notion of derivation (tree)s. We argue that derivation structures in LTAG are not appropriate to guide semantic composition, due to a non-isomorphism, in LTAG, between the syntactic operation of adjunction on the one hand, and the semantic operations of co...

متن کاملLTAG Semantics of NP-Coordination
A central component of Kallmeyer and Joshi 2003 is the idea that the contribution of a quantifier is separated into a scope and a predicate argument part. Quantified NPs are analyzed as multi-component TAGs, where the scope part of the quantifier introduces the proposition containing the quantifier, and the predicate-argument part introduces the restrictive clause. This paper shows that this as...
متن کاملCompositional Semantics of Coordination using Synchronous Tree Adjoining Grammar
In this paper, we propose a compositional semantics for DP coordination and VP coordination, using Synchronous Tree Adjoining Grammar (STAG). We take advantage of STAG’s capacity to provide an isomorphic derivation of semantic trees in parallel to syntactic ones, using substitution and adjoining in both syntax and semantics. In addition, we use unreduced λ-expressions in semantic elementary tre...
متن کاملSemantic Interpretation of Unrealized Syntactic Material in LTAG
This paper presents a LTAG-based analysis of gapping and VP ellipsis, which proposes that resolution of the elided material is part of a general disambiguation procedure, which is also responsible for resolution of underspecified representations of scope.
