... appearance of a variable can only be further instanfiated by a semantic individual constant and so the semantic representation after generation cannot be further instantiated in such a way that ... the algorithm The most important feature of categorial grammars is the close correspondence of syntactic and semantic ftmctors. In generation, if the semantic functor of an expression can ... Abstract We present analgorithmfor the generation of sentences from the semantic representations of Unification Categorial Grammar. We discuss a variant of Shieber's semantic monotonicity...
