Abstract

Discourse Representation Theory, as formulated by Hans Kamp and others, provides a model of inter- and intra-sentential anaphoric dependencies in natural language. In this paper, we present a reformulation of the model which, unlike Kamp's, is specified declaratively. Moreover, it uses the same rule formalism for building both syntactic and semantic structures. The model has been implemented in an extension of PROLOG, and runs on a VAX 11/750 computer.
