""" 

An implementation of the Hole Semantics model, following Blackburn and Bos, 

Representation and Inference for Natural Language (CSLI, 2005). 

 

The semantic representations are built by the grammar hole.fcfg. 

This module contains driver code to read in sentences and parse them 

according to a hole semantics grammar. 

 

After parsing, the semantic representation is in the form of an underspecified 

representation that is not easy to read.  We use a "plugging" algorithm to 

convert that representation into first-order logic formulas.
