The Generative Lexicon

by James Pustejovsky

Book Overview

The Generative Lexicon presents a theory of lexical semantics that addresses the problem of the multiplicity of word meaning; that is, how we are able to give an infinite number of senses to words with finite means. This formally elaborated theory of a generative approach to word meaning lays the foundation for an implemented computational treatment of word meaning that connects explicitly to a compositional semantics.
