Section 3 discusses the meaning of reciprocal statements and proposes a formal semantics for each other.</Paragraph> <Paragraph position="3"> Section 2 shows how model generation can be used to provide this semantics with a computational interpretation. Section 4 compares our approach with the account of reciprocals which inspired it in the first place namely, (Dalrymple et al., 1998). Section 5 concludes with pointers for further research.</Paragraph> </Section> class="xml-element"></Paper>
