We exclude from semantic interpretation any consideration of discourse pragmatics; rather, discourse pragmatics operate upon the output of the semantic interpreter.

Woods's system had rules with patterns that, when they matched part of the parsed input sentence, contributed a string to the semantic representation of the sentence. This string was usually constructed from the terminals of the matched parse tree fragment. The strings were combined to form a procedure call that, when evaluated, entered or retrieved the appropriate database information. This approach is still the predominant one today, and even though it has been refined over the years, semantic interpretation remains perhaps the least understood and most ad hoc area of natural language understanding (NLU).I However, recent advances in linguistics, most notably Montague semantics (Montague 1973; Dowry, Wall and Peters 1981) , suggest ways of putting NLU semantic interpretation on a cleaner and firmer foundation than it now is.

At the top level, the meaning, of a sentence was a truth condition relative to a possible world and point in time. These semantic objects were represented by expressions of intensional logic; that is, instead of translating English directly into these objects, a sentence was first translated to an expression of intensional logic, for which, in turn, there existed an interpretation in terms of these semantic objects.",

Thus, given a particular syntactic category, such as proper noun or adverb, Montague was able to say that the meaning of a constituent of that category was a semantic object of such and such a type. 4 Montague's system of types was recursively defined, with entities, truth values and intensions as primitives, and other types defined as functions from one type to another in such a manner that if syntactic category X was formed by adding category Y to category Z, then the type corresponding to g would be functions from senses of the type of 3That is, to ensure that \"The temperature is ~0 and the temperature is rising* cannot lead to the inference that \"90 is rising\". Y to the type of X. The first alternative is that the meaning of the whole is a function of not just the parts but also the situation in which the sentence is uttered. For example, the possessive in English is highly dependent upon pragmatics; the phrase Nadia's penguin could refer, in different circumstances, to the penguin that Nadia owns, to the one that she is carrying but doesn't actually own, or to the one that she just bet on at the penguin races. Our definition above of semantic interpretation excluded this sort of consideration, but this should not be regarded as uncontroversial.",

The first is that Montague semantics as currently formulated is computationally impractical. It throws around huge sets, infinite objects, functions of functions, and piles of possible worlds with great abandon.

	"text": "Nevertheless, it is possible to use many aspects of Montague's approach in semantics in AI. The semantic interpreter that we describe below maintains three of the four properties of Montague semantics that we described above, and we therefore refer to it as \"Montague-inspired\". Our semantic interpreter is a component of a system that uses a frame-like representation for both story comprehension and problem-solving. The system includes a frame language, named Frail, a problem solver, and a discourse pragmatics component; further details may be found in , Wong 1981a , and Wong 1981b . The natural language front-end includes Paragram, a deterministic parser based on that of Marcus (1980) . Unlike Marcus's parser, Paragram has two types of rule: base phrase structure rules and transformational rules. It is also able to parse ungrammatical sentences; it always uses the rule that matches best, even if none match exactly. Paragram is described in Charniak 1983. 91tonically, Montague regarded intensional logic merely as a convenience in specifyin K his translation, and one that was completely irrelevant to the substance of his semantic theories. lOGodden (1981) in f~ct uses them for simple translation between Thai and English. aThe queJtion-m~rk prefix indicates & variable.

As the above discussion suggests, rules that attach nodes are the ones that have semantic counterparts. In Paragram, these are the base structure rules. For this subset of the syntactic rules, semantic rules run in tandem, just as in Montague's semantics, m It is a consequence of the above properties of our semantic interpreter that we have also retained the property of compositionaiity by design. This follows from the uniform typing; the correspondence between syntactic and semantic rules that maintains this uniformity; and there being a unique semantic object corresponding to each word of English i~ (see Dowty e~ al 1981:180-181) . Unlike those of Woods's (1967) airline reservation system front-end discussed in Section 2, our semantic rules are very weak: they cannot change or ignore the components upon which they operate, nor can more than one rule volunteer an interpretation for any node of the parse tree. The power of the system comes from the nature of the semantic objects and the syntax-directed application of semantic rules, rather than from the semantic rules themselves.",

Such grammars combine a complex transformationfree syntax with Montague's semantics, the rules again operating in tandem. Gawron et al (1982) have implemented a database interface based on GFSG. In their system, the intensional logic of the semantic component is replaced by a simplified extensional logic, which, in turn, is translated into a query for database access. Schubert and Peiletier (1982) have also sought to simplify the semantic output of a GPSG to a more ~conventional\" logical form; and Rosenschein and Shieber (1982) describe a similar translation process into extensional logical forms, using a context-free grammar intended to be similar to a GPSG. Iv The GPSG approaches differ from ours in that their output is a logical form rather than an immediate representation of a semantic object; that is, the output is not tied to any representation of knowledge. In Gawron et al's system, the database provides an interpretation of the logical form, but only in a weak sense, as the form must first pass through another (apparently somewhat ad hoc) translation and disambiguati0n process. Nor do these approaches provide any semantic feedback to the parset. is These differences, however, are independent of the choice of GPSG; it should be easy, at least in principle, to modify these approaches to give Frail output, or, conversely, to replace Paragram in our system with a GPSG parser. 19",
