The paper describes a module that serves as a back-end to such at analysis methods and transforms their output into full semantic representations as constructed by deep analysis methods.
the module has been designed so as to process input from tree banks a statistic context-free parser trained on these tree banks a nite-state parser a traditional feature-structure parser The semantic representations which the module constructs are so-called Verbmobil Interface Terms VITs Bos et al., 1998, building on Reyle's Underspeci ed Discourse Representation Structures 1993, see an example in Figure 1.
