The interpretation of a verb may depend on certain properties of its arguments. pustejovsky:95a has argued, for example, that a process of co-composition can occur between a verb's semantics and the semantics of a complement noun phrase which shifts the sense of the verb. One of his examples of this process is exemplified by the bake sentences introduced above in dav10. The solution he proposes requires that the complement noun be associated with a lexical semantic structure representing core aspects of the noun's meaning. This semantic structure interacts with the semantic structure of the verb in order to make precise the intended meaning of the verb, relative to its complement. I will outline in greater detail in Section 2.6 the semantic structure Pustejovsky (1991, pustejovsky:95a) proposes for nouns. I will adopt his representation and will show in Chapter 5 how its use can further my goal of capturing the generative processes which underly sense extensions.
