Compositional Semantics Grounded in Commonsense Metaphysics

Artificial Intelligence 2009-09-29 v2 Computation and Language

Abstract

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.
