Recently, there has been a surge of interest in the lexicon. The
demand for a fuller and more adequate understanding of lexical
meaning required by developments in computational linguistics,
artificial intelligence, and cognitive science has stimulated a
refocused interest in linguistics, psychology, and philosophy.
Different disciplines have studied lexical structure from their own
vantage points, and because scholars have only intermittently
communicated across disciplines, there has been little recognition
that there is a common subject matter. The conference on which this
volume is based brought together interested thinkers across the
disciplines of linguistics, philosophy, psychology, and computer
science to exchange ideas, discuss a range of questions and
approaches to the topic, consider alternative research strategies
and methodologies, and formulate interdisciplinary hypotheses
concerning lexical organization. The essay subjects discussed
include: * alternative and complementary conceptions of the
structure of the lexicon, * the nature of semantic relations and of
polysemy, * the relation between meanings, concepts, and lexical
organization, * critiques of truth-semantics and referential
theories of meaning, * computational accounts of lexical
information and structure, and * the advantages of thinking of the
lexicon as ordered.
