Factoring Predicate Argument and Scope Semantics : underspecified Semantics with LTAG [PDF]
, 2003 In this paper we propose a compositional semantics for lexicalized tree-adjoining grammar (LTAG). Tree-local multicomponent derivations allow separation of the semantic contribution of a lexical item into one component contributing to the predicate ...
