The theory presented explores how words can possess an infinite number of meanings despite having finite forms, challenging traditional views of lexical semantics. It emphasizes an active lexicon that generates meanings contextually, enhancing natural language processing capabilities. Key topics include the semantics of various nominals, the lexicalization of causation, the interplay between semantic types and syntax, and a formal approach to event semantics and polysemy. This innovative framework aims to enrich our understanding of word meaning and its application in computational linguistics.
