Abstract

This paper applies resolution theorem proving to natural language
semantics. The aim is to circumvent the computational complexity
triggered by natural language ambiguities like pronoun binding, by
interleaving pronoun binding with resolution deduction. To this end,
disambiguation is only applied to expressions that actually occur
during derivations. Given a set of premises and a conclusion, our
resolution method only delivers pronoun bindings that are needed to
derive the conclusion.
