It is argued that this kind of approach allows for transparent semantic representations and a straightforward syntax-semantics interface. UMRS is a semantic metalanguage, whose expressions describe expressions of an object language and (possibly underspecified) dependences between them. The potential of UMRS will be illustrated by employing it as the semantic component of an HPSG description of wh-questions.Fri Dec 14 02:37:40 CET 2007DraftMinimal Recursion Semantics: an Introduction1999MRS HPSG underspecification We describe minimal recursion semantics (MRS), a framework for computational semantics which simplifies the design of algorithms. We have integrated an implementation of MRS with an HPSG grammar for both parsing and generation that enables a simple formulation of the grammatical constraints on lexical and phrasal semantics. We discuss why, in general, a semantic representation with minimal structure is desirable and illustrate how a descriptively adequate representation with a nonrecursive structure may be achieved.Fri Dec 14 02:37:39 CET 2007Stanford, CAMinimal Recursion Semantics: an Introduction1997MRS HPSG underspecification We describe minimal recursion semantics (MRS), a framework for computational semantics which simplifies the design of algorithms.
