Annotation

This volume suggests that underspecified representations might enable humans and machines to deal with ambiguity, as representations must probably reflect this variety of semantic incompleteness. This use though raises questions related to motivation and the nature of ambiguity, questions of semantics and pragmatics and technical questions of logic.
