Abstract
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> I suggest that Geoffrey Nunberg's work can make two contributions to the issue of the relationship of lexical semantics to knowledge representation. The first is the claim that Lexical Semantics and Knowledge Representation are the same. The second (which is both more controversial and more difficult to implement) is that the connection between this world knowledge and lexical items must be quite flexible, if not, in fact, non-existent and constructed anew for each interpretive act. I outline several arguments for this position and present a formal method of incorporating this within a standard Montague-grammar framework.</Paragraph>
