1 Introduction
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> Natural language processing must disambiguate polysemous constituents in the input sentences. A good description of information necessary for disambiguation in the lexicon is crucial in high quality NLP systems. This paper discusses the treatment of linguistic phenomena in Japanese adnominM constituents and it focuses on how to generate the same semantic representation from different syntactic structures, and how to generate different semantic representations from a semantically ambiguous sentence. We exploit and extend the Generative Lexicon Theory (Pustejovsky, 1995; Bouillon, 1996) to develop a formal description of adnominal constituents in a lexicon which can offer a solution to these problems.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> We classify the problematic behavior of Japanese adnominal constituents into &amp;quot;static disambiguation&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;dynamic disambiguation&amp;quot; tasks. Whereas static disambiguation can be done using the lexical information in a dictionary, dynamic disambiguation needs inferences at the knowledge representation level. This paper mainly discusses dynamic disambiguation. null</Paragraph>
