Resumen
- The goal of this work is twofold: on the one hand, it seeks to update the description of phrasal constituents in Role and Reference Grammar; on the other, it aims at providing a computational implementation of such structures within the Grammar Development Environment, a component of ARTEMIS (“Automatically Representing Text Meaning via an Interlingua-Based System”), a Natural Language Processing prototype developed with the aim of binding natural language fragments with their corresponding grammatical and semantic structures.
  
  In order to attain both tasks the analysis focuses specifically on the design of the rules that would account for the linkage between the syntactic and the semantic representations of Referential Phrases, as proposed initially in RRG. This proposal involves a reinterpretation of the constituents and operators in the Layered Structure of the RP taking into account that in ARTEMIS the assignment of a syntactic-semantic structure to a given sequence is based on the activation of grammatical rules plus a set of Attribute Value Matrixes related to the grammatical features of the constituents of RPs
