semantic grammar

Terms from Artificial Intelligence: humans at the heart of algorithms

A semantic grammar includes some form of formal representation of meaning to each grammar fragment. For example the phrase "belongs to" might be associated with the logical proposition "is_in(PERSON,ORG)". In contrast syntactic grammars only record the ways in which words and higher-level grammatical units can be connected to one another. A semantic grammar can be used to {[disambiguate}} language or to allow complete statements to be converted into a higher level semantic form.
