This is a small experiment to put MRS test suite sentences into Tatoeba corpus. The primary purposes of this experiment are to (a) verify the naturalness of the sentences and (b) bootstrap a crosslingual MRS corpus through crowdsourcing.

Issues that came up when putting MRS test suite sentences into Tatoeba.

1. @possible copyright violation: How are MRS test suites licensed?
2. This is not a good translation: Some supposedly grammatical sentences were deemed as unnatural by Tatoeba's user, should these sentences be corrected to ensure that our grammars are parsing the right stuff? 3. Sentences are machine-translated.: Are sentences from the MRS test suite humanly translated? Or are they generated using LOGON? 4. I cannot think of any situation where this would be used.: Sentences from the test suite should validate the grammars' correctness, so it's understandable that some sentences are not very useful to Tatoeba's user on the surface. Is there a page where it says which phenomenon/phenomena each sentence captures? Are these phenomena language dependent?
