Research in Generative Lexicon Theory: The Semantics of Complex Types

生成词典理论研究：复杂类型的语义本研究的目的是从形式语言学和计算模型的双重角度，研究心理词典在语言使用的认知机制中的作用。我们的研究着眼于词的复杂性，解决了意义的多重性问题，即人类以创造性的方式将词组合在一起，从有限的语义类型的词汇中产生无限数量的意义。这项研究的结果是跨学科的，因为对语言意义形式属性的语言学解释对负责产生、生成和归类的活动的心理模型有影响。对比词义生成观和静态词义列举法，我们有兴趣确定词汇的普遍成分的性质以及它们在阐明语言使用中所涉及的组成过程中的作用。

Research in Generative Lexicon Theory: The Semantics of Complex Types The goal of this research is to study the role of the mental dictionary within the cognitive apparatus underlying language use, from the dual perspective of formal linguistics and computational modeling. Our investigation focuses on the complex nature of words by addressing the problem of the "multiplicity of meaning", namely the way in which humans combine words in a creative way to generate an infinite number of senses out of a finite vocabulary of semantic types. The consequences of this research are cross-disciplinary, since a linguistic account of the formal properties of language meaning has implications for the psychological modeling of the activities responsible for production, generation, and categorization. Contrasting a generative view of word meaning to a static sense- enumeration approach, we are interested in identifying the nature of the universal components of the lexicon and their role in elucidating the compositional processes involved in language use.
