Principles as lexical methods
Jacques Jayez 1, Danièle Godard 2
(1995)

Current research in lexical semantics has brought into focus (1) the existence of general tendencies across laguages or inside language families, (2)the existence of numerous exceptions to these tendendies. To reconcile these two facts, it seems natural to endorse a general conception of principles, usually cashed on a form of default logic. This leaves open the question of how to identify and manage the exceptions in a more precise way. In this paper, we analyze different examples where complex cases can be handled explicitly, and show that principle-based approaches require, as a natural complement, to be controlled by more local information.
