Modeling Quantification and Scope in Abstract Meaning Representations

2019-08-01 · WS 2019 8 · James Pustejovsky, Ken Lai, Nianwen Xue

In this paper, we propose an extension to Abstract Meaning Representations (AMRs) to encode scope information of quantifiers and negation, in a way that overcomes the semantic gaps of the schema while maintaining its cognitive simplicity. Specifically, we address three phenomena not previously part of the AMR specification: quantification, negation (generally), and modality. The resulting representation, which we call {`}Uniform Meaning Representation{''} (UMR), adopts the predicative core of AMR and embeds it under a {}scope{''} graph when appropriate. UMR representations differ from other treatments of quantification and modal scope phenomena in two ways: (a) they are more transparent; and (b) they specify default scope when possible.{}

Modeling the language cortex with form-independent and enriched representations of sentence meaning reveals remarkable semantic abstractness

2025-09-27 · Shreya Saha, Shurui Li, Greta Tuckute, Yuanning Li 외 arxiv

The human language system represents both linguistic forms and meanings, but the abstractness of the meaning representations remains debated. Here, we searched for abstract representations of meaning in the language cort…

Compositionality and the lexicon in evolutionary semantics

2026-06-25 · Fausto Carcassi arxiv

Formal semantics has shown that sentence meanings arise by recursively composing lexical meanings, yet much of the literature on semantic universals models either lexicons with fixed signal structures or holistic composi…
