The semantic analyzer is charged with the task of combining the knowledge contained in the ontology and lexicon and applying it to the current input to produce output TMRs. The central tasks involved in this endeavor are to retrieve the appropriate semantic constraints for each possible word sense, test each in context, and construct the output TMRs by instantiating the SEM zones of the word senses which, taken together, best satisfy the combination of constraints. Below, we will examine the steps taken to choose the ACQUIRE meaning of ``adquirir'' over the LEARN meaning. We will then briefly trace out the other decisions made and provide a summary of the computational methods applied in the analysis process.
