| | 8. Basic Processing in Ontological Semantic Text Analysis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) |
 | | The proclaimed goal of ontological semantics as applied to text analysis is to input a text and output a formal expression which is declared to be its meaning representation. |
 | | The task of syntactic analysis in ontological semantics is, essentially, to determine clause-level dependency structures for an input text and assign syntactic valency values to clause constituents (that is, establish subjects, direct objects, obliques and adjuncts). |
 | | In both cases, the semantics of the event realized by the verb, either elided or unattested, is determined, to the degree possible, by the constraints on the content of the inverse case role properties (theme-of, instrument-of, agent-of, etc.) in the meanings of the arguments of these verbs. |
