Lambdas, Vectors, and Word Meaning in Context

Abstract

We provide Lambda Logical Forms, which we think of as a reasonably neutral interface between syntax and semantics, with two interpretations. One interpretation is very close to a standard Montagovian semantics, be it that it allows the extensions of certain terms to be dependent on constants denoting vectors. A second interpretation constrains the values of these constants so that a form of word sense disambiguation in context results.
