Abstract—This paper provides a comprehensive survey and
classification scheme of attempts to provide logical treatment
to Arabic semantics, thereby developing Arabic semantic
processing, during the past thirty years. The efforts of Arabic
logic-based meaning representation are very limited. However,
Badr Al-Johar and Jim McGregor (1997), Bassam Haddad
and Mustafa Yaseen (2001-2007), and Haytham El-Sayed
(2011, 2015), can be considered good starting points. Shading
the light on these works structure and limitations is needed for
better improvements, and developing an adequate logic-based
model, of semantic processing for Arabic. Establishing a
research community that combines Arab logicians, linguists
and computer scientists has become increasingly necessary for
high level, and amount, of achievements in this prominent
interdisciplinary research area.
Index Terms—Arabic LMR, syntax-semantics
representation, Arabic semantic processing, Montague
grammar.
