It is argued that this kind of approach allows for transparent semantic representations and a straightforward syntax-semantics interface. UMRS is a semantic metalanguage, whose expressions describe expressions of an object language and (possibly underspecified) dependences between them. The potential of UMRS will be illustrated by employing it as the semantic component of an HPSG description of wh-questions.} } @InProceedings{Egg:1999, AUTHOR = {Egg, Markus}, TITLE = {Derivation and Resolution of Ambiguities in Wieder-Sentences}, YEAR = {1999}, BOOKTITLE = {12th Amsterdam Colloquium}, PAGES = {109-114}, EDITOR = {Dekker, Paul}, ADDRESS = {Amsterdam, The Netherlands}, PUBLISHER = {ILLC} } @PhdThesis{Egg:2000, AUTHOR = {Egg, Markus}, TITLE = {Flexible Semantic Construction: The Case of Reinterpretation}, YEAR = {2000}, ADDRESS = {Saarbrücken}, SCHOOL = {Universität des Saarlandes, Department of Computational Linguistics} } @InCollection{Egg:2000_1, AUTHOR = {Egg, Markus}, TITLE = {Reinterpretation from a Synchronic and Diachronic Point of View}, YEAR = {2000}, BOOKTITLE = {Meaning Change - Meaning Variation, vol.2.

This process is known as reinterpretation. From a synchronic viewpoint, it is a 'creative' or 'dynamic' aspect of natural language, to be described and integrated in a formal description of natural language semantics. But reinterpretation phenomena can also be regarded as a gateway for linguistic change, since they may get conventionalized and thus enlarge the domain of compositional semantics. Analyzing reinterpretation will therefore also provide insights into mechanisms of linguistic change. The proposed account of reinterpretation goes as follows. Semantic construction yields ambiguous structures for reinterpretation cases, which are then monotonically enriched with information from extralinguistic sources (e.g. world knowledge). Semantic ambiguities are described in the framework of underspecification. This account of reinterpretation allows a straightforward modelling of its synchronic and diachronic aspects.}, ANNOTE = {COLIURL : Egg:2000:RSD.pdf Egg:2000:RSD.ps} } @InCollection{Egg:2002, AUTHOR = {Egg, Markus}, TITLE = {Beginning Novels and Finishing Hamburgers - Remarks on the Semantics of to begin}, YEAR = {2002}, BOOKTITLE = {Ereignisstrukturen}, VOLUME = {76}, EDITOR = {Dölling, Johannes and Zybatow, Tatjana}, SERIES = {Linguistische Arbeitsberichte}, ADDRESS = {Leipzig}, PUBLISHER = {Universität Leipzig}, ABSTRACT = {Verbs like begin may take either a VP or an NP complement, but their meaning is pretty similar in both cases, e.g., for begin, the start of an eventuality is at stake.

CLLS features constraints for dominance, lambda binding, parallelism, and anaphoric links. In the case of antecedent contained deletion (ACD), the definition of parallelism in the original version of CLLS is slightly too restrictive due to an overly weak notion of quantifier identity. We show how to extend CLLS with an appropriate notion of quantifier identity such that ACD can be naturally analysed. This sheds some light on conflicting requirements on quantifier representations as needed for ACD and Hirschbühler sentences.} } @InProceedings{Egg_et_al:1998_2, AUTHOR = {Egg, Markus and Niehren, Joachim and Ruhrberg, Peter and Xu, Feiyu}, TITLE = {Constraints over Lambda-Structures in Semantic Underspecification}, YEAR = {1998}, BOOKTITLE = {17th International Conference on Computational Linguistics and 36th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (COLING-ACL'98), August 10-14}, VOLUME = {1}, PAGES = {353-359}, EDITOR = {ACL}, ADDRESS = {Montréal, Québec, Canada}, PUBLISHER = {Morgan Kaufmann Publishers}, URL = {http://www.dfki.de/~feiyu/CLLS-98.pdf ftp://lt-ftp.dfki.uni-sb.de/pub/papers/local/COLING-feiyu-98.ps.gz ftp://lt-ftp.dfki.uni-sb.de/pub/papers/local/COLING-feiyu-98.entry}, ABSTRACT = {We introduce a first-order language for semantic underspecification that we call Constraint Language for Lambda-Structures (CLLS).
