Abstract

This paper discusses computational compositional semantics from the perspective of grammar engineering, in the light of experience with the use of Minimal Recursion Semantics in DELPH-IN grammars. The relationship between argument indexation and semantic role labelling is explored and a semantic dependency notation (DMRS) is introduced.
