These calculi constitute part of the lexicai organization of the grammar and contribute to the lexical semantics of a word. The lexieal system of the grammar is distinct from the conceptual representation associated with a lcxieal item, where polysemy is less constrained by grarmnar. We propose a structured' semantic representation, the Lexical Conceptual Paradigm (LCP) which groups nouns into paradigmatic classes exhibiting like behavior.</Paragraph> </Section> class="xml-element"></Paper>
