| Abstract |
In this paper we present a tool to automatically determine the semantic interpretation of some ambiguous sentences in Spanish, the so-called ``\seconsp''. These sentences are syntactically similar, but their argument structure is different. The performance of the disambiguation procedure has been evaluated against a manually annotated corpus, achieving 95\% precision. |
