"Knowledge is Elsewhere": Natural Language Semantics meets the X-Files
- …this paper, I will outline briefly what I think can be said about natural language semantics, and how this position is both defensible and preferable to FL's resounding silence over the many semantic phenomena demanding explanation. 2 Generative Lexicon Theory and Knowledge of Language…

Type construction and the logic of concepts
- …I would like to pose a set of fundamental questions regarding the constraints we can place on the structure of our concepts, particularly as revealed through language. I will outline a methodology for the construction of ontological types based on the dual concerns of capturing linguistic generaliza…

Syntagmatic Processes
- …which is related to the notion of selectional restrictions as developed by Chomsky (1965), as noted by Cruse (1986). In the present discussion, syntagmatic processes will refer primarily to the "determination of selection" as construed in contemporary linguistic frameworks. Determination ofSel By…

Type Theory and Lexical Decomposition” in
- …In this paper, I explore the relation between methods of lexical representation involving decomposition and the theory of types as used in linguistics and programming semantics. I identify two major approaches to lexical decomposition in grammar, what I call parametric and predicative strategies. I …

The Generative Lexicon
- …this paper, I will discuss four major topics relating to current research in lexical semantics: methodology, descriptive coverage, adequacy of the representation, and the computational usefulness of representations. In addressing these issues, I will discuss what I think are some of the central prob…

On the Proper Role of Coercion in Semantic Typing
- …In this paper, we discuss the phenomenon of logical polysemy in natural language as ;ddrcsscd by Gener- ;ttivc Lexicon Theory. We discuss generally the role of type and sortal coercion operations in the semantics, and specifically the conditions on the applicat. ion of' coercion in aspectual predica…

Inducing Sense-Discriminating Context Patterns from Sense-Tagged Corpora
- …Traditionally, context features used in word sense disambiguation are based on collocation statistics and use only minimal syntactic and semantic information. Corpus Pattern Analysis is a technique for producing knowledge-rich context features that capture sense distinctions. It involves (1) identif…

Lexical Ambiguity and The Role of Knowledge Representation in Lexicon Design
- …The traditional framework fbr ambiguity resolution employs only 'static' knowledge, exp 'rcsscd generally as sclcctional restrictions or domain specific constraints, nd makes no use of any specific knowledge manipulation mechanisms apart from the simple ability to match valences of structurally rela…
