%0 Journal Article %T Compositional Semantics Grounded in Commonsense Metaphysics %A Walid S. Saba %J Computer Science %D 2007 %I arXiv %X 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 in ordinary language. Assuming the existence of such a structure, we show that the semantics of various natural language phenomena may become nearly trivial. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0708.2303v2
