摘要

本文研究了英语(和其他几种语言)中系统多义词的一个分支,它似乎依赖于名词的数量用法和数量用法之间的区别(例如,shoot a rabbit /eat rabbit /wear rabbit)。计算语义方法传统上分析这种由专门的词汇推理规则清单产生的意义变化。本文对这种基于规则的分析的中心论点进行了仔细的审查,并提供了证据,证明由计数质量语法提供的语言成分留下了比基于规则的理论通常承认的更不明确的语义输出。从词汇语用分析的角度出发,提出了数团一词多义的积极观点,这一观点提供了一个更灵活、更统一的解释。将计数-质量语法视为对NP指称物的程序约束,认为单一的、关联引导的词汇语用机制可以覆盖与词汇规则相同的基础,以及那些基于规则的解释需要诉诸语用学的情况。早期访问

The lexical pragmatics of count-mass polysemy
This paper investigates a subtype of systematic polysemy which in English (and several other languages) appears to rest on the distinction between count and mass uses of nouns (e.g., shoot a rabbit /eat rabbit /wear rabbit ). Computational semantic approaches have traditionally analysed such sense alternations as being generated by an inventory of specialised lexical inference rules. The paper puts the central arguments for such a rule-based analysis under scrutiny, and presents evidence that the linguistic component provided by count-mass syntax leaves a more underspecified semantic output than is usually acknowledged by rule-based theories. The paper develops and argues for the positive view that count-mass polysemy is better given a lexical pragmatic analysis, which provides a more flexible and unified account. Treating count-mass syntax as a procedural constraint on NP referents, it is argued that a single, relevance-guided lexical pragmatic mechanism can cover the same ground as lexical rules, as well as those cases in which rule-based accounts need to appeal to pragmatics.
