## Abstract

This paper discussas rapresenta t ions of seeantic inforeation d~rivP.d froe these of Scllank (1972, 1973), Wilks (197Ja, 197Jb, 1973c), and Schank et al. (1973). A critic•l r.?viev of th"ir relAtEd arproachdS is given that ShOVS representational in4dequacies for language coepreh~nsion in their theories. ~ore gen~rally, various probl~•s in representing knovledg~ arinvestigated and edthods suqgest~d for handling so•of thee.
