Abstract
This paper describes a method of processing unknown words in a HPSG-based dialogue system, with acquisition of lexical semantics via clarification questions answered by the user. Use of a highly contextualized semantic representation, together with an utterance-anaphoric view of clarification, allows the clarificational dialogue to be integrated within the grammar and governed by standard rules of conversation.
