Using and Extending the ACG technology: Endowing Categorial Grammars with an Underspecified Semantic Representation
Abstract
Underlining the computational properties of Abstract Categorial Grammars, we show how to extend them while keeping some of their properties. In particular, we show how to enable the modeling of non-linear languages. We give as an example the encoding of an underspecified semantic representation language, and apply it to categorial grammars. So that we can model ambiguities of quantifier scopes only at the semantic level, and not at the syntactic level anymore.
