 acetext_to_drs(+Text, -Sentences, -SyntaxTrees, -Drs, -Messages)

 acetext_to_drs(+Text, +Guess, +Catch, -Sentences, -SyntaxTrees, -Drs, -Messages, -Time)

Provides an interface to the parser for parsing an ACE text that consists of one or more paragraphs. These predicates will always succeed even if the parser fails.

Examples:

 acetext_to_drs('Every man waits.', Sentences, SyntaxTrees, Drs, Messages)
 acetext_to_drs('Every man waits.', on, off, Sentences, SyntaxTrees, Drs, Messages, Time)

Arguments:

Text	- is an ACE text
Guess	- is either 'on' or 'off' (default) and defines whether unknown word guessing should be used
Catch	- is either 'on' or 'off' (default) and defines whether unexpected errors should be catched and put to the list of messages or not
Sentences	- is the list of sentences (each a list of tokens) in the ACE text
SyntaxTrees	- is the list of syntax trees (each a complex list) of the ACE text
Drs	- is the DRS of the ACE text
Messages	- is the list of error and warning messages that result from the processing

 aceparagraph_to_drs(+Text, -Sentences, -SyntaxTrees, -UnresolvedDrs, -Drs, -Messages)

 aceparagraph_to_drs(+Text, +Guess, +Catch, +StartID, -Sentences, -SyntaxTrees, -UnresolvedDrs, -Drs, -Messages, -Time)

Provides an interface to the parser for parsing an ACE text that consists of one or more paragraphs. These predicates will always succeed even if the parser fails.

Examples:

 aceparagraph_to_drs('Every man waits.', Sentences, SyntaxTrees, UnresolvedDrs, Drs, Messages)
 aceparagraph_to_drs('Every man waits.', on, off, 1, Sentences, SyntaxTrees, UnresolvedDrs, Drs, Messages, Time)

Arguments:

Text	- is an ACE text
Guess	- is either 'on' or 'off' (default) and defines whether unknown word guessing should be used
Catch	- is either 'on' or 'off' (default) and defines whether unexpected errors should be caught and put to the list of messages or not
StartID	- is the sentence id for the first sentence (default is 1)
Sentences	- is the list of sentences (each a list of tokens) in the ACE text
SyntaxTrees	- is the list of syntax trees (each a complex list) of the ACE text
UnresolvedDrs	- is the DRS of the ACE text with anaphoric references unresolved (pre-refres DRS)
Drs	- is the DRS of the ACE text
Messages	- is the list of error and warning messages that result from the processing
