Abstract

Chinese grammar engineering has been a much debated task. Whilst semantic information has been reconed crucial for Chinese syntactic analysis and downstream applications, existing Chinese treebanks lack a consistent and strict sentential semantic formalism. In this paper, we introduce a semantics oriented grammar for Chinese, designed to provide basic supports for tasks such as automatic semantic parsing and sentence generation. It has a directed acyclic graph structure with a simple yet expressive label set, and leverages elementary predication to support logical form conversion. To our knowledge, it is the first Chinese grammar representation capable of direct transformation into logical forms.
