Line 1: '''Computational semantics''' is the study of how to automate the process of constructing and reasoning with meaning representations of [[natural language]] expressions. Some traditional topics of interest are: construction of meaning representations, semantic underspecification, anaphora resolution, presupposition projection, and quantifier scope resolution. Computational semantics has points of contact with the areas of lexical semantics (word sense disambiguation and role labelling), discourse semantics, [[formal semantics]], knowledge representation and automated reasoning. Since 1999 there is an ACL ([[Association for Computational Linguistics]]) special interest group on computational semantics [http://www.aclweb.org/sigsem SIGSEM]. ~~== Introduction ==~~ ==Further reading== Computational Semantics is the study of how to automate the process of constructing and reasoning with meaning representations of [[natural language]] expressions.
