Abstract

In this paper we discuss the problems of solving word sense ambiguity into queries databases. We present a method for introducing semantic constraints into a spanish-syntactic parser based on Modular Logic Grammar. The efficiency of this method in comparison with the method of semantic constraints based on McCord type-trees is discussed.
