Abstract

The ability to interpret, conceive and learn composite meaning is a pre- requisite for language use. Any computational model of the emergence and evolution of grammar needs to consider the emergence and evolution of such meaning. It needs to explain how interpretation deals with semantic ambi- guity, how rich meaning is conceptualised, and how it is acquired and con- ventionalised. Various computational models have been proposed that deal with one or a few of these aspects. It is however hard to integrate them given the diverse and often hard to align underlying conceptual and computational metaphors and paradigms. To remedy this we propose a constraint-based model of compositional semantics which affords a uniform and grounded treatment of its interpretation, its conceptualisation and its acquisition.
