Compositional Semantics Grounded in Commonsense Metaphysics
Walid S. Saba · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2007
We argue for a compositional semantics grounded in a strongly typed ontology that reflects our commonsense view of the world and the way we talk about it in ordinary language. Assuming the existence of such a structure, we show that the semantics of various natural language phenomena may become nearly trivial.
