Meßmer, Moritz & Zymla, Mark-Matthias: The Glue Semantics Workbench: A modular toolkit for exploring Linear Logic and Glue Semantics
In this paper we present an easy to use, modular Glue semantic prover implemented in Java. We take inspiration from a Glue semantics parser written in Prolog as well as other existing tools such as the NLTK Glue semantics system. The architecture of our semantic parser allows us to explore the computational viability of linear logic as a mechanism for modeling compositional semantics within LFG. Furthermore, it allows researchers interested in linear logic (for computational linguistics) to research its usefulness, when applied to different syntactic models and various formal semantic frameworks. The goal of this resource is to provide an accessible entry point for both beginners and adepts in computational semantics. It thus also has prospective uses as a teaching tool for computational semantics and linear logic.
