    <Paragraph position="0"> This research concerns semantic structures, especially those of noun phrases, and was conducted as part of a series of research efforts in the LUTE (Language Understander, Translator, &amp; Editor) project \[e, 7. I0, nl To date, ten thousand examples of A no B have been collected from scientific and newspaper articles, and the appropriateness of the classification of A no B investigated. In addition, as a preliminary experiment, a semantic relation analysis was tried with about a thousand examples, with rather satisfactory results. The meaning of A no B is generally ambiguous, and contextual information is needed to resolve the ambiguities. There seems to be variety of such ambiguities relating to contextual information, but in principle such ambiguities are considered to be resolved by assuming appropriate predicates as described in this paper.</Paragraph>
