Un cas de « polysémie logique » : modélisation de noms d'action en français ambigus entre processus et artefact

This paper describes a modeling in a logical framework of the semantic content of a class of action nouns in French that are ambiguous between a processive interpretation and a resultative one in which these nouns refer to new objects in the world that are created by the process artefacts. The first part of the paper is about an explanation of the properties that show why these ambiguous action nouns can be considered as logical polysemic words. The second part deals with the necessary extensions that have been realised in ordre to modelise their ambiguous semantic content. These extensions are added to a previous modelisation based on the notion of dotted types and their modelings in the framework of typed λ-calculus.
