Structure of the domain of the lexical theory

Lemma:
A lexical entry, related to other entries in an Immediate Dominance (or part-whole) hierarchy
Class:
Based on defeasible (default) and indefeasible (absolute) generalisations over the four main types of similarity between lexical entries (Structural distribution and composition; semantic and phonetic interpretation)
Template:
Structures defining the interpretation of lexical entries in real, ultimately observable, terms; in semantics, for instance in a lambda calculus; in phonetics, for instance, in terms of a finite state processor for event logics.
