In this paper wc examine a subset of polyscmous elements, the logical structure of nominals, and argue that maw cases of polysemy have well-defined calculi, which interact with the grmnmar in predictable and determinate ways for disambiguation. These calculi constitute part of the lexicai organization of the grammar and contribute to the lexical semantics of a word. The lexieal system of the gr...

Lexical (and structural) ambiguities make language as expressive as it is. Computational lexicons thus have to cope with a large amount of polysemous words. Research in the last decade (e. g., Pustejovsky (1995), Kilgarriff and Gazdar (1995)) has aimed at identifying different types of polysemy in order to capture underlying regularities. This paper deals with a subtype of regular polysemy illu...
