The flavour of the paper is somehow experimental and heterogeneous, its authors discuss and compare different approaches to lexical semantics that they supported at the workshop mentioned in the title. Section 2 (Christiane Fellbaum) presents the lexical database WordNet, where sets of lexical items are organized into a network which provides a semantic characterization of English words in terms of their position in the net. Section 3 (Patrick Saint-Dizier) develops a proposal for combining the lexical resources provided by WordNet and syntactic alternations with a lexical conceptual semantics framework for representing the verb semantic classes, and offering a special analysis of the verb pair buy/sell. Section 4 (Federica Busa) addresses the role of underspecified lexical representations within the framework of the Generative Lexicon (GL) theory. Section 5 (Evelyne Viegas) presents the computational lexical semantics methodology developed in Mikrokosmos, a knowledge-based machine translation system. Finally, Section 6 (Danièle Dubois) is concerned with the results of psycholinguistic experiments investigating the semantic structures for transfer verbs, with a specific focus on the verb pair acheter (buy) and vendre (sell). The general conclusion is that lexical semantics is already powerful and continuously growing research domain since the lexicon acquires a new and increasingly prominent role in both theoretical and computational linguistics.
