This volume contains a detailed, precise and clear semantic
formalism designed to allow non-programmers such as linguists and
literary specialists to represent elements of meaning which they
must deal with in their research and teaching. At the same time, by
its basis in a functional programming paradigm, it retains
sufficient formal precision to support computational
implementation. The formalism is designed to represent meaning as
found at a variety of levels, including basic semantic units and
relations, word meaning, sentence-level phenomena, and text-level
meaning. By drawing on fundamental principles of program design,
the proposed formalism is both easy to read and modify yet
sufficiently powerful to allow for the representation of complex
semantic phenomena. In this monograph, the authors introduce the
formalism and show its basic structure, apply it to the analysis of
the semantics of a variety of linguistic phenomena in both English
and French, and use it to represent the semantics of a variety of
texts ranging from single sentences, to textual excepts, to a full
story.
