This proposal is sufficient for many phenomena and accurately incorporates lexical semantics by the means of type theory, but some issues linger in the linguistic data. In the present paper, we revisit this proposal with a version of the λ -calculus based upon higher-order linear types, that aims to resolve those issues and present an integrated framework for meaning assembly.Keyphrases: compositional semantics, higher order linear intuitionistic logic, lambda calculus, lexical semantics In: Makoto Kanazawa, Lawrence S.
