The Delilah parser and generator for Dutch generates - among others - embedded and interpreted relative clauses of any complexity from strictly semantic input. It does so within a grammatical framework that links well-formed sentences to fully specified propositions in a logical calculus, on the basis of a phrasal lexicon. The propositional output can be evaluated against the propositional input. Relative clauses in Dutch show an intrinsic variety of discontinuity. The algorithm neither establishes nor presumes any functional relation between constituency and logical consequence. It is argued that this degree of grammatical freedom is essential for balancing form and interpretation in generation. Consequently, meaning-driven generation and meaning-oriented parsing do not mirror each other.
