This is a preliminary report on a set of techniques for translating the discourse representation structures (DRSes) of Kamp (1981) into semantically equivalent clauses in a slightly extended form of Prolog. Together with discourse representation theory (DRT) itself, these techniques yield a system for translating English into Prolog. A working prototype has been built using Quintus Prolog on a VAX workstation.
