Checking for equality of two DRSs is very useful when generating readings of a sentence.
For example, the ``glue`` module generates two readings for the sentence
*John sees Mary*:
>>> from nltk.sem.glue import DrtGlue
>>> readings = drtglue.parse_to_meaning('John sees Mary'.split())
>>> for drs in sorted([r.simplify().normalize() for r in readings], key=str):
... print(drs)
([z1,z2],[John(z1), Mary(z2), sees(z1,z2)])
([z1,z2],[Mary(z1), John(z2), sees(z2,z1)])
However, it is easy to tell that these two readings are logically the
same, and therefore one of them is superfluous. We can use the theorem prover
to determine this equivalence, and then delete one of them. A particular
theorem prover may be specified, or the argument may be left off to use the
default.
>>> readings[0].equiv(readings[1])
True
