Abstract

We present an approach to lexical knowledge representation where different uses of the same word can be conflated into a single meta-entry which encodes regularities about sense/usage extensibility. This approach makes it possible to solve lexical ambiguities by using contextual information during language processing to ground underspecified word entries, and can be efficiently implemented within a typed feature structure formalism.
