Minimal recursion semantics

{{Short description|Theoretical framework in linguistics}}

Minimal recursion semantics (MRS) is a framework for computational semantics. It can be implemented in typed feature structure formalisms such as head-driven phrase structure grammar and lexical functional grammar. It is suitable for computational language parsing and natural language generation.Copestake, A., Flickinger, D. P., Sag, I. A., & Pollard, C. (2005). [https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~aac10/papers/mrs.pdf Minimal Recursion Semantics. An introduction]. In Research on Language and Computation. 3:281–332 MRS enables a simple formulation of the grammatical constraints on lexical and phrasal semantics, including the principles of semantic composition. This technique is used in machine translation.{{Cite web|title = LogonTop - Deep Linguistic Processing with HPSG|url = http://moin.delph-in.net/LogonTop|website = DELPH-IN|accessdate = 2015-10-13|date = 2013-07-30}}

Early pioneers of MRS include Ann Copestake, Dan Flickinger, Carl Pollard, and Ivan Sag.{{Cite web|title = English Resource Grammar and Lexicon|url = http://www.delph-in.net/erg/|website = DELPH-IN|accessdate = 2015-10-13|date = 2013-05-23}}
