Dependency Semantics: History
Please note this is an old version of this entry, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Dependency semantics is an approach to linguistic meaning representation in which semantic relationships among lexical elements are represented through dependency relations rather than solely through constituent-based structures or conventional lambda-calculus representations [1]. In this approach, the interpretation of an expression is modeled in terms of relations linking lexical items and specifying how their meanings contribute to the meaning of the larger expression [1]. Dependency semantics concerns semantic representation and interpretation, and is distinct from syntactic dependency analysis, which represents grammatical relations between heads and their dependents.
