title: A Note on Ontology and Ordinary Language creator: Saba, Walid subject: Language subject: Philosophy of Language subject: Computational Linguistics subject: Semantics subject: Philosophy of Mind subject: Logic subject: Pragmatics subject: Speech subject: Metaphysics description: We argue for a compositional semantics grounded in a strongly typed ontology that reflects our commonsense view of the world and the way we talk about it. Assuming such a structure we show that the semantics of various natural language phenomena may become nearly trivial. date: 2007-05 type: Other type: NonPeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: http://cogprints.org/5544/1/ool_saba.pdf identifier: Saba, Walid (2007) A Note on Ontology and Ordinary Language.
