Lexicon, Ontology, and Text Meaning

A computationally relevant theory of lexical semantics must take into consideration both the form and the content of three different static knowledge sources -- the lexicon, the ontological domain model and a text meaning representation language. Meanings oflexical units axeinterpreted in terms of their mappings into the ontology and/or their contributions to the text meaning representation. We briefly describe one such theory. Its precepts have been used in mONYSUS, a machine translation system prototype.
