Léxico e inferencia: una semántica de acceso a la información

Abstract

According to classical approaches to lexical semantics, the access to information is brought about only once semantic categories have been established. This procedure imposes important limitations on inferential devices, In order to avoid such limitations, this paper presents formal tools to build up a semantics of access to information which would construct semantic types on the basis of inferential devices, The procedure we will follow consists in elaborating and formalizing intuitions, drawn from cognitive approaches to lexical semantics, by means of situation-theoretic objects.
