Hi Steve,<br><br>
I know of two recent papers from the semantic workshop at HPSG 04 that
deal with linguistic problems using MRS <br><br>
<font face="arial">Markus Egg's and Lars' and my paper;<br><br>
Here the abstracts for both papers:<br><br>
</font><font face="arial" size=2>"Recent analyses of mismatches at
the syntax-semantics interface investigate e.g. modification of agentive
nouns (Larson, 1998), modification of quantifying pronouns (Abney, 1987),
or recursive modification (Kasper, to appear). Each of these analyses is
tailored to a specific set of data, and it is not immediately obvious how
they could be generalised to cover a larger set of data. I propose a
unified analysis for these mismatches that attempts to bring out their
common ground. This analysis shares some of its basic intuitions with the
one of Kasper, but is more general because the mismatches are handled
locally in the CONT feature. Its pivot is an elaborate syntax-semantics
interface that is based on a surface-oriented syntactic analysis. This
analysis generalises easily to the mismatches at the morphology-semantics
interface for German separable-prefix verbs that were discussed in

</font><font face="@Arial Unicode MS">Lars' and my paper:<br><br>
</font><font face="arial" size=2>"This article proposes a semantics
of directional expressions in Norwegian and German, regarded as VP
modifiers. The analysis uses Minimal Recursion Semantics, as an
integrated part of Matrix-based HPSG grammars. Directional expressions
are analyzed as modifying an individual, the 'mover'. Context dependent
directionals like here receive a decomposed analysis. Telicity values
reflecting various types of directional and locative expressions are
computed."<br><br>
</font><font face="@Arial Unicode MS">If your students are interested in
running the LKB (or already do that )then I could also send you a small
grammar of German which computes<br>
situation types, boundedness, path-telicity and delimitedness for a
limited set of constructions.<br><br>

for papers applying Minimal Recursion Semantics to the analysis of

I'll post a summary.<br><br>
