Delmonte (linguistic sciences, U. Ca'Foscari Venezia, Italy) analyzes the General Text and Reference Understander System (GETARUNS) and provides students and researchers with a comprehensive overview of the software architecture and applications. The author begins with a description of how to induce fully specified lexical representations with the program, and then explains how GETARUNS can be used to parse arguments, adjuncts, grammar and structure. Explanations are given for extracting information for text correction and summarization, and anaphoric binding, quantifiers and resolution through discourse are also reviewed.
