Abstract
Dot-types, as proposed by Pustejovsky and studied by many others, are special data types useful in formal semantics to describe interesting linguistic phenomena such as copredication. In this paper, we present an implementation of dot-types in the proof assistant Plastic base on their formalization in modern type theories.
