Towards a Conversion of the Prague Dependency Treebank Data to the Uniform Meaning Representation

Original language description

For centuries, linguists have deliberated on how to represent meaning. Recently, this inquiry has been pursued not only as an intriguing theoretical problem but also due to its practical implications for applications. Here we provide a comparison of two meaning representations rooted in two different linguistic traditions and based on different theoretical assumptions: the meaning representation used in the family of Prague Dependency Treebanks and the Uniform Meaning Representation. We discuss the possibility and limitations of an automatic &quot;translation&quot; between these two formalisms, focusing especially on selected deep syntactic phenomena affecting the shape of sentence graphs. Specifically, we concentrate on predicates and their argument structures, lexicons available for both approaches, levels of abstraction, and on coreference. We believe that the mutual inspiration of both approaches can lead to a substantially deeper understanding of language semantics.
