A Montagovian Generative Lexicon

چکیده
Generative Lexical Semantics aims, among other things, to model cocompositional meanings that classical Montague semantics is unable to express. This paper outlines a simple extension of Montague semantics which amends the standard compositional mechanisms for the use of specific terms provided by the lexicon, in order to account for this theory. We hope that such a logical system would prove both simpler and easier to implement than the formulations currently used.

A type theoretical framework for natural language semantics: the Montagovian generative lexicon
We present a framework, named the Montagovian generative lexicon, for computing the semantics of natural language sentences, expressed in many sorted higher order logic. Word meaning is depicted by lambda terms of second order lambda calculus (Girard’s system F) with base types including a type for propositions and many types for sorts of a many sorted logic. This framework is able to integrate...
متن کاملThe Montagovian Generative Lexicon ΛT yn: a Type Theoretical Framework for Natural Language Semantics∗
We present a framework, named the Montagovian generative lexicon, for computing the semantics of natural language sentences, expressed in many-sorted higher order logic. Word meaning is described by several lambda terms of second order lambda calculus (Girard’s system F): the principal lambda term encodes the argument structure, while the other lambda terms implement meaning transfers. The base...
متن کاملDeverbal Semantics and the Montagovian Generative Lexicon $$\Lambda \!\mathsf {Ty}_n$$ Λ Ty n
We propose a lexical account of action nominals, in particular of deverbal nom-inalisations, whose meaning is related to the event expressed by their base verb. The literature about nominalisations often assumes that the semantics of the base verb completely defines the structure of action nominals. We argue that the information in the base verb is not sufficient to completely determine the sem...
متن کاملThe Montagovian generative lexicon ΛTyn: an integrated type-theoretical framework for compositional semantics and lexical pragmatics
In the recent years, different but similar approaches integrated lexical semantics within compositional semantics. These approaches all make use of type theory at least to compose the meanings. We present here with some details one of these approaches, ours, which makes use of second order lambda calculus as a type theory for meaning assembly and of multi sorted higher order predicate logic for...

مقالة حاضر به معرفی و نقد کتاب واژگان زایشی اثر جیمز پاستیوسکی می‌پردازد. نظریة واژگان زایشی چهارچوبی را برای نمایش و بازنمود دانش زبانی پیش می‌نهد که بازنمایی‌های معنایی ـ واژگانی عرضه‌شده در آن درواقع بخشی از اطلاعات ذخیره‌شده در واژگان‌اند. در این رویکرد، تلاش بر این است تا کاربرد خلاقانة زبان شرح داده شود و با در‌نظرگرفتن ساختار و سطوح بازنمودیِ چندگانه برای انواع مختلف اطلاعات واژگ...
