Abstract

This paper reports on the development of a core semantics for German which was implemented on the basis of an English semantics that converts LFG f-structures to flat meaning representations in a Neo-Davidsonian style. Thanks to the parallel design of the broad-coverage LFG grammars written in the context of the ParGram project (Butt et al., 2002) and the general surface independence of LFG f-structure analyses, the development process was substantially facilitated. We also discuss the overall architecture of the semantic conversion system from a crosslinguistic, theoretical perspective.
