6 Conclusions and Future Work
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> We have given an account of resource sharing in the syntax/semantics interface of LFG. The multiple use of semantic contributions results from viewing dependencies in f-structures as resources; in this way the one-to-one correspondence between f-structure relations and meanings is maintained. The resulting account does not suffer from overgeneration inherent in other approaches, and applies equally to cases of resource sharing that do not involve coordination. Furthermore, it lends itself readily to an extension for the intensional verb case that has advantages over the widely-assumed account of Partee and Rooth (1983).</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Here we have separated the issue of arriving at the appropriate f-structure in the syntax from the issue of deriving the correct semantics from the f-structure. We have argued that this is the correct distinction to make, and have given a treatment of the second issue. A treatment of the first issue will be articulated in a future forum.</Paragraph>
