METHODS We conducted seven foc...

Example Output • Type Strength – A language characteristic based on the amount of coercion (casting) permitted and performed among its data types  Less coercions = stronger typing – Coercion is generally performed during compile time to insure compatibility of operator and operand types – C integer coercions are rule based  Integer ranking  Integer promotion rules  Usual arithmetic conversi...

In this paper, we discuss the phenomenon of logical polysemy in natural language as ~ddressed by Gener-ative Lexicon Theory. We discuss generally the role of type and sortal coercion operations in the selnantics, and specifically the conditions on the application of coercion in aspectual predicates and other contexts. We reply to some recent discussion regarding the use of coercion in the gramm...
