The latter also involves other static microtheories describing world kalowledge and syntax-semantics mapping as well as dynamic microtheories comlected with the actual process of text analysis. Tiffs paper describes our approach to detecting ,'rod recording adjectival meaning, compares it with the body of kalowledge on adjectives in literature and presents a detailed, practically tested methodology for the acquisition of lexical entries for adjecfives.
