Parsing WH-interrogative sentences within ARTEMIS.

The linguistic foundation of Functional Grammar Knowledge Base (FunGramKB) is inspired on robust linguistic theories like Role and Reference Grammar (RRG, Van Valin, 2005) and the Lexical Constructional Model (LCM) (Mairal-Usón & Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez, 2008). Accordingly, its lexical and grammatical levels will allow the system to capture syntactic-semantic generalizations which can provide explanations and predictions of language phenomena (Periñán-Pascual & Arcas-Túnez, 2010: 2671). ARTEMIS (Automatically Representing Text Meaning via an Interlingua-Based System) comes into play as a prototype which exploits FunGramKB to pursue the simulation of natural language understanding. To guarantee a correct parsing, this application relies on a set of production rules where pertinent morphosyntactic information must be expediently encoded via AVMs, feature-bearing structures which can effectively constrain this process (Periñán-Pascual, 2013a: 223). Departing from Martín-Díaz (2017)'s account of Y/N-interrogatives, this paper aims at proposing the rules and AVMs necessary for the correct parsing of WH-interrogatives within ARTEMIS.
