    abstract = "This paper analyzes the semantic parsing of relative clauses in Portuguese in two meaning representation frameworks: Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR) and Lexicalized Meaning Representation (LMR). While both treat relatives as noun modifiers, AMR fails to distinguish restrictive from appositive clauses{--}an important traditional grammatical distinction. We argue for explicitly encoding this difference. The study draws on annotated translations of *The Little Prince* (Saint-Exup{\'e}ry, 1943) in Brazilian and European Portuguese, highlighting issues in the Brazilian AMR annotations."
