Abstract
The centerpiece of the paper is SMEARR, an enriched and augmented lexical database with a database management system and several peripherals. It is presented as a polytheoretical shareable resource in computational semantics and justified as a manageable empirically-based study of the meaning bottleneck in NLP. The relation between SMEARR entries and the examples of formal semantic descriptions in the generative and post-generative semantic literature is explored, revealing a significant discrepancy in the formalisms and in the very nature of formality between computational and theoretical semantics. Finally, the idea of variable-depth semantics, developed in earlier publications, is brought up in the context of SMEARR.
