We show that a practical translation of MRS descriptions into normal dominance constraints is feasible. We start from a recent theoretical translation and verify its assumptions on the outputs of the English Resource Grammar (ERG) on the Redwoods corpus. The main assumption of the translation— that all relevant underspecified descriptions are nets—is validated for a large majority of cases; all non-nets computed by the ERG seem to be systematically incomplete. | Minimal Recursion Semantics as Dominance Constraints Translation Evaluation and Analysis Ruth Fuchss 1 Alexander Koller 1 Joachim Niehren 2 and Stefan Thater1 1 Dept. of Computational Linguistics Saarland University Saarbrucken Germany 2 INRIA Futurs Lille France fuchss koller stth @ Abstract We show that a practical translation of MRS descriptions into normal dominance constraints is feasible.

The readings of underspecified expressions are represented by compact and concise descriptions instead of being enumerated explicitly. Underspecified descriptions are easier to derive in syntax-semantics interfaces Egg et al. 2001 Copestake et al. 2001 useful in applications such as machine translation Copestake et al. 1995 and can be resolved by need. Two important underspecification formalisms in the recent literature are Minimal Recursion Semantics MRS Copestake et al. 2004 and dominance constraints Egg et al. 2001 . MRS is the underspecification language which is used in large-scale HPSG grammars such as the English Resource Grammar ERG Copestake and Flickinger 2000 . The main advantage of dominance constraints is that they can be solved very efficiently Althaus et al. 2003 Bodirsky et al. 2004 . Niehren and Thater 2003 defined in a theoretical paper a translation from MRS into normal dominance constraints. This translation clarified the precise relationship between these two related formalisms and made the powerful meta-theory of dominance constraints accessible to MRS. Their .
