    <Paragraph position="0"> Automatic recognition of paraphrases is an e ective technique to ease the information access burden in a technical domain. We have presented some techniques that we have adopted in a Question Answering system for dealing with paraphrases. These techniques range from the detection of lexical paraphrases and terminology variants, to the use of a simpli ed logical form that provides the same representation for morpho-syntactic paraphrases, and the use of meaning postulates for paraphrases that require inferences.</Paragraph>
