- Semantics is a foundation of lexicography.
The study of the relationship between words and their meanings.

-- Extra arguments can also be used to build semantic representations. Now, we did not say anything about what the words in our little DCG mean. In fact, nowadays a lot is known about the semantics of natural languages, and it is surprisingly easy to build semantic representations which partially capture the meaning of sentences or even entire discourses. Such representations are usually expressions of some formal language (for example first-order logic, discourse representation structures, or a database query language) and they are usually built up compositionally. That is, the meaning of each word is expressed in the formal language; this meaning is given as an extra argument in the DCG entries for the individual words. Then, for each rule in the grammar, an extra argument shows how to combine the meaning of the two subcomponents. For example, to the rule s --> np, vp we would add an extra argument stating how to combine the np meaning and the vp meaning to form the s meaning. Although somewhat more complex, the semantic construction process is quite like the way we built up the parse tree for the sentence from the parse tree of its subparts.<sup>1</sup>
