Paper presented at the workshop on
Präpositionalsemantik und PP-Anbindung
at
KONVENS 96 in Bielefeld.
In this paper it is argued that using an HPSG with a strong
linearization component it is possible to assign sentences
with ambiguous PP-adjuncts a unique syntactic structure. The
possible readings, which may depend on the actual word order,
are given by an underspecified semantics. For this purpose
a higher-order constraint language along the lines of
(
Bos 1995) is integrated into HPSG. In contrast to
other approaches, we define the semantic metalanguage on the
object level of HPSG.
