Abstract
Deep linguistic analysis is based on Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG) which provides an integrated approach to syntactic and semantic analysis. We present the basic concepts and ideas of HPSG, as well as of the underlying semantic representation formalism and its interface to the Verbmobil system.
