    <abstract>This paper presents a computational resource for exploring semantic parsing and reasoning through a strictly formal lense. Inspired by the framework of Lexical Functional Grammar, our system allows for modular exploration of different aspects of semantic parsing. It consists of a hand-coded formal grammar combining syntactic and semantic annotations, producing basic semantic representations. The system provides the option to extend these basic semantics via rewrite rules in a principled fashion to explore more complex reasoning. The result is a layered system enabling an incremental approach to semantic parsing. We illustrate this approach with examples from the Fracas testsuite demonstrating its overall functionality and viability.</abstract>
