Abstract

Predicates in natural languages impose selectional restrictions on their arguments. In this paper, we analyze selectional restrictions of predicates within the framework of Dependent Type Semantics, a framework of natural language semantics based on dependent type theory. We also introduce operators that shift the meanings of predicates and analyze two phenomena, coercion and copredication for logical polysemous nouns, that present challenges to simple analysis of selectional restrictions.
