Abstract
The aim of this paper is to discuss a series of problems raised in the representation of linguistic information or, to be more precise, in the representation of what has been called—from philosophical and linguistic approaches —parenthetical or disjunct constituents (cf.,Urmson (1952) and Schreiber (1972)).
