We propose and advocate the use of an advanced declarative programming paradigm -- answer set programming -- as a uniform platform for integrated approach towards syntax-semantic processing in natural language. We illustrate that (a) the parsing technology based on answer set programming implementation reaches performance sufficient for being a useful NLP tool, and (b) the proposed method for incorporating semantic information from Framenet into syntactic parsing may prove to be useful in allowing semantic-based disambiguation of syntactic structures.
