REMARKS ON LEXICAL STRUCTURE AND DRS CONSTRUCTION

This paper investigates questions concerning the form and content of a lexicon able to support the systematic semantic representation of texts. We concentrate on questions connected with the transitive and intransitive uses of the German verb heilen (to cure/to recover). Our attention will be focussed on the possible argument structures of this verb and on the concept "thematic role". We will use our lexical entries for heilen to construct semantic representations of a few sentences within the framework of DRT. In the second paper of this volume we will study the use of these and similar entries in drawing inferences from semantic representations.
