The system described in this report is designed for use as a computational tool that allows a linguist to develop and study methods for generating surface strings from an underlying semantic structure. Initial findings with regard to form-determiners (such as voice, form, tense, and mood), some rules for embedding sentences, and some attention to…

This paper defines the structure of a semantic network for use in representing discourse and lexical meanings.

The semantics of natural English can be defined as a…
