Abstract
This paper proposes a semantics-based approach to question
generation by transforming the Minimal Recursion Semantics representation of declarative sentences to that of interrogative sentences. Sentences
are first decomposed into smaller units on the semantic level. Then the
semantic representation of target words are mapped to that of question
words. Finally generation is realized through a linguistically deep English
grammar. A prototype system is developed to verify the feasibility.
