  abstract  = {The Parallel Meaning Bank is a corpus of translations annotated with shared,
	formal meaning representations comprising over 11 million words divided over
	four languages (English, German, Italian, and Dutch). Our approach is based on
	cross-lingual projection: automatically produced (and manually corrected)
	semantic annotations for English sentences are mapped onto their word-aligned
	translations, assuming that the translations are meaning-preserving. The
	semantic annotation consists of five main steps: (i) segmentation of the text
	in sentences and lexical items; (ii) syntactic parsing with Combinatory
	Categorial Grammar; (iii) universal semantic tagging; (iv) symbolization; and
	(v) compositional semantic analysis based on Discourse Representation Theory.
	These steps are performed using statistical models trained in a semi-supervised
	manner. The employed annotation models are all language-neutral. Our first
	results are promising.},
