TL;DR
This paper will discuss two alternatives to conventional models of lexical knowledge: a Saussurean approach and a prototype-theory approach, showing that the latter is troublesome but the former is likely to succeed.
Abstract
this paper, I will discuss these approaches, showing that the latter is troublesome but the former is likely to succeed.

Lecture notes in computer scienceSyntax-driven and ontology-driven lexical semantics
32 Citations1992Sergei Nirenburg, Lori Levin
The scopes of two schools in lexical semantics are described, which are called syntax-driven lexical morphology and ontology-driven Lexical semantics, respectively, and which are used in various applications at The Center for Machine Translation.
Knowledge-Based SystemsLexical choice as pattern matching
31 Citations1992Jean-François Nogier, Michael Zock
The authors believe that word meanings and utterance meanings are isomorphic, in the sense that words, sentences and texts are simply different units for conveying a message, and the core meanings of words and texts can be expressed by the same formalism: conceptual graphs.

This work examines the adequacy of knowledge representation formalisms developed in artificial intelligence, in particular of term subsumption languages for these issues, and derives some basic requirements for a suitable representation language.
