7 Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> High-quality machine translation requires an adequate semantic interpretation of the source text. To achieve this goal, we feel it is necessary to incorporate the kind oflexical knowledge and structure that has been explored in the theory of lexical semantics. We have presented a methodology that can be used to construct lexical hierarchies which represent lexical knowledge in a compact, efficient representation which captures relevant linguistic generalizations, as well as providing a useful framework for knowledge acquisition and system-building.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> This methodology is declarative and language-independent, and can be used either for parsing or generation.</Paragraph>
