A Note on Ontology and Ordinary Language

Artificial Intelligence 2007-05-23 v6 Computation and Language

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. Assuming such a structure we show that the semantics of various natural language phenomena may become nearly trivial.
