In this chapter, I will try to give an idea of what semantic underspecification is, what it has been good for, and what the perspective for future application are. I will start with the inspection of specific phenomena and techniques which are usually associated with the notion of underspecification (in Section 1 and 2, respectively). In Sect. 3, I will try to indicate the main motivations for using underspecification techniques. Then, I will point out one important use of the concept in some detail, i.e., direct reasoning with incomplete semantic information, discussing first the appropriate truth-conditional basis (Sect. 4), and second perspectives on efficient reasonig systems (Sect. 5). I will conclude with some remarks about the general status of the semantic underspecification concept, in Sect. 6.}, added-at = {2007-12-14T02:45:00.000+0100}, address = {Tilburg}, author = {Pinkal, Manfred}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/24b6c42d44af4a430e0188d77c093cb77/diego_ma}, booktitle = {Proc. 3rd International Workshop on Computational Semantics}, interhash = {579ba51f8f3e78ac1fa3d5a20bc7a68b}, intrahash = {4b6c42d44af4a430e0188d77c093cb77}, keywords = {underspecification}, organization = {ITK, Tilburg University}, timestamp = {2007-12-14T02:45:00.000+0100}, title = {On Semantic Underspecification}, url = {http://www.coli.uni-sb.de/cl/projects/chorus/publications.html}, year = 1999 } @incollection{Muskens:1995, added-at = {2007-12-14T02:44:22.000+0100}, author = {Muskens, Reinhard}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/247f878420210f5ecda6e12db94dd0374/diego_ma}, booktitle = {Events and More in Dynamic Semantics}, editor = {Groenendijk, J.}, interhash = {21fb18545719b011c9a7cd39018d7d8a}, intrahash = {47f878420210f5ecda6e12db94dd0374}, keywords = {underspecification}, publisher = {DYANA deliverable R.2.2.C}, timestamp = {2007-12-14T02:44:22.000+0100}, title = {Order-Independence and Underspecification}, year = 1995 } @inproceedings{Maruyama:1990, added-at = {2007-12-14T02:43:03.000+0100}, author = {Maruyama, Hiroshi}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2b950852f8d39f29c19fe3ea6f22f1b70/diego_ma}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 28th conference on Association for Computational Linguistics}, interhash = {0cae56e88b1def96a8b8f3967561418a}, intrahash = {b950852f8d39f29c19fe3ea6f22f1b70}, keywords = {constraint_programming underspecification}, pages = {31--38}, publisher = {Association for Computational Linguistics}, timestamp = {2007-12-14T02:43:03.000+0100}, title = {Structural disambiguation with constraint propagation}, url = {http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=981828#}, year = 1990 } @inproceedings{Koller:1999, abstract = {Constraint programming is a programming paradigm that was originally invented in computer science to deal with hard combinatorial problems.
