Lexical ambiguity is one of the most intractable problems facing
language processing studies and is at the core of research in
lexical semantics. The papers in this collection constitute not
just a set of diverse yet related articles in this area of
research, but rather make up a unique collection of work on the
relationship between logical polysemy, sense extension, and
discourse structure. Each paper addresses the following questions:
what is the representation of a lexical item such that it may
assume different senses? What is it about the representation of a
lexical item that gives rise to sense extensions and to the
phenomenon of logical polysemy? Three major subthemes run through
the papers: the role of pragmatics and discourse in lexical
disambiguation the analysis of logical polysemy as a compositional
process and the treament of sense extension and referential
transfer phenomena.
