在本文中，我将讨论四个主要议题有关目前的研究在词汇语义学：方法，描述性的覆盖范围，充分的代表性，和计算有用的代表。在解决这些问题时，我将讨论我认为词汇语义学社区面临的一些核心问题，并提出解决这些问题的最佳方法。然后，我将提供一种方法的词汇类别的分解，并概述了一个理论的词汇语义体现的概念cocompositionality和类型强制，以及几个层次的语义描述，语义负载分布更均匀的整个词汇。我认为，词汇分解是可能的，如果它是生成执行。而不是假设一组固定的基元。我将假设一个固定数量的生成设备，可以被视为构建语义表达。我开发了一个理论的质结构，代表语言的词汇项目，这使得许多词汇歧义的词汇不必要的，同时仍然解释系统的多义词进行。最后，我讨论了如何通过词汇继承理论将单个词汇结构整合到更大的词汇知识库中。这为我们提供了必要的原则，全球组织的词汇，使我们能够充分整合我们的自然语言词汇到一个概念的整体。
In this paper, I will discuss four major topics relating to current research in lexical semantics: methodology, descriptive coverage, adequacy of the representation, and the computational usefulness of representations. In addressing these issues, I will discuss what I think are some of the central problems facing the lexical semantics community, and suggest ways of best approaching these issues. Then, I will provide a method for the decomposition of lexical categories and outline a theory of lexical semantics embodying a notion of cocompositionality and type coercion, as well as several levels of semantic description, where the semantic load is spread more evenly throughout the lexicon. I argue that lexical decomposition is possible if it is performed generatively. Rather than assuming a fixed set of primitives. I will assume a fixed number of generative devices that can be seen as constructing semantic expressions. I develop a theory of Qualia Structure, a representation language for lexical items, which renders much lexical ambiguity in the lexicon unnecessary, while still explaining the systematic polysemy that words carry. Finally, I discuss how individual lexical structures can be integrated into the larger lexical knowledge base through a theory of lexical inheritance. This provides us with the necessary principles of global organization for the lexicon, enabling us to fully integrate our natural language lexicon into a conceptual whole.
