This collection of papers takes linguists to the leading edge of
techniques in generative lexicon theory, the linguistic composition
methodology that arose from the imperative to provide a
compositional semantics for the contextual modifications in meaning
that emerge in real linguistic usage. Today's growing shift towards
distributed compositional analyses evinces the applicability of GL
theory, and the contributions to this volume, presented at three
international workshops (GL-2003, GL-2005 and GL-2007) address the
relationship between compositionality in language and the
mechanisms of selection in grammar that are necessary to maintain
this property. The core unresolved issues in compositionality,
relating to the interpretation of context and the mechanisms of
selection, are treated from varying perspectives within GL theory,
including its basic theoretical mechanisms and its analytical
viewpoint on linguistic phenomena.
