Abstract
We consider lexical operations and their representation in a unification based lexicon and the role of lexical semantic information. We describe a unified treatment of the linguistic aspects of sense extension and derivational morphological processes which delimit the range of possible coercions between lexemes and give a preliminary account of how default interpretations may arise.
