Abstract

Dependency Grammar has been taken as a formalism for syntactic representation, comparable to close competitors such as phrase structure grammar or categorial grammar. This paper argues that in fact the dependency graphs (DGs) should—like semantic frames—be seen as a semantic formalism like e.g. FOL, Montague’s IL or Discourse Representation Structures. For this, arrows must have semantically interpretable labels and two additional kinds of arrows need to be added: scope arrows and anaphoric arrows.
