Introduction to Generative Lexicon
نویسنده
چکیده
Generative Lexicon is a theory of linguistic semantics which focuses on the distributed nature of compositionality in natural language. Unlike purely verb-based approaches to compositionality, Generative Lexicon (henceforth, GL) attempts to spread the semantic load across all constituents of the utterance. Central to the philosophical perspective of GL are two major lines of inquiry: (1) How is it that we are able to deploy a finite number of words in our language in an unbounded number of contexts? (2) Is lexical information and the representations used in composing meanings separable from our commonsense knowledge?

متن کاملAN INTRODUCTION TO LEXICAL SEMANTICS A Computational Perspective
In this introductory text, we present some of the main lexical semantics paradigms frequently used in Computational Linguistics circles. Most of the elements presented here come from different linguistic traditions. To make the text homogeneous, we have somewhat reformulated or simplified some of them. We successively present the notions of argument structure and thematic roles, the notion of a...
متن کاملCopredication, dynamic generalized quantification and lexical innovation by coercion
We propose a record type theoretical account of cases of copredication which have motivated the introduction of dot types in the Generative Lexicon (Asher and Pustejovsky, 2005). We will suggest that using record types gives us a simple and intuitive account of dot types and also makes a connection between copredication and the use of hypothetical contexts in a record type theoretic analysis of...

متن کاملBuilding a Generative Lexicon for Romanian
We present in this paper an on-going research: the construction and annotation of a Romanian Generative Lexicon (RoGL). Our system follows the specifications of CLIPS project for Italian language. It contains a corpus, a type ontology, a graphical interface and a database from which we generate data in XML format.
