Abstract
In this paper, we offer one possible way to bridge the gap existing between the lexical and logical semantic analysis of natural language expressions. We look for a link that would allow us to perform a more adequate and integrated semantic analysis of natural language expressions. The solution is to combine the descriptions of lexical units as they are developed within the area of lexical semantics (e.g. WordNet) with logical analysis of sentence meanings worked out within the Transparent Intensional Logic framework.
The data structures based on both approachesmaytake the form of richer dictionary entries that together would form a dictionary of the new type - a Lexico-Logical Dictionary (LLD).
