The Language of Word Meaning
Editors
Pierrette Bouillon, University of Geneva, Switzerland
Federica Busa, Lexeme Inc., Cambridge, MA

This volume is a collection of original contributions that address the
problem of words and their meaning.  This represents a still difficult
and controversial area within various disciplines: linguistics,
philosophy, and artificial intelligence.  Although all of these
disciplines have to tackle the issue, so far there is no overarching
methodology agreed upon by researchers.  The aim of the volume is to
provide answers based on empirical linguistics methods that are
relevant across all the disciplines and provide a bridge among
researchers looking at word meaning from different angles.
