Abstract

This work is situated in the area of semantic modeling, which aims to represent the meaning of natural language in a machine-processable form. Various formalisms exist in this direction. Logic-based ones offer more expressivity, but are more complex to annotate and analyse by humans. The ones aimed at large-scale annotation are more abstract, but at the cost of expressivity. To address the question of what should be included in the design of meaning representations, we carry out a survey on existing formalisms across various semantic phenomena and semantically-oriented considerations. With these in mind, we join the trend for reconciling the logic-based view on semantics with the readability offered by more abstract representations by proposing a new formalism, which uses a layered approach to represent various phenomena. Finally, to address the relative lack of parallel data in the field, we explore rule-based graph transformation methods between formalisms.
