      ABSTRACT = {Semantic interpretation is an essential component of natural language understanding which draws on extremely efficient language-based inference techniques. Such techniques are still lacking in computational systems for natural language processing. We have investigated specialized representation formalisms and suitable inference techniques that meet some of these desiderata. We have developed higher-order inference procedures to accurately represent linguistic ambiguities in terms of underspecification, and show how these procedures can be guided by information from other linguistic strata.}
