First published in 1983, this book represents an effort to lay the
groundwork for a general approach to lexical semantics that pays
heed to the needs of a theory of discourse interpretation, a theory
of compositional semantics, and a theory of lexical rules. The
first chapter proposes a basic framework in which to undertake
lexical description and a lexical semantic analogue to the
classical syntactic distinction between subcategorized for
complement and adjunct. This apparatus for lexical description is
expanded in the second chapter. A theory of the semantics of
nuclear terms along with a proposed implementation is presented in
chapter three. The fourth chapter argues that a number of regular,
semantically governed valence alternations could be captured in
frame representations that give rise to various kinds of
realisation options. The final chapter examines interaction of
these phenomena with a general account of prediction or control
along with the general framework of lexical representation.
