 However, probabilistic meanings presuppose ambiguity, while in general the salience- and default-oriented semantics and pragmatics relies on the assumption of underspecification. While in the case of (26)–(27) an ambiguity account appears justified when viewed from the perspective of the inventory of the lexicon in a language system (in that one would expect an analogy from ‘leopard’ and ‘fox’ to ‘lamb’ and ‘goat’, while in the context of the sentence this analogy is not present, as shown in (26a) and (27a)), most cases of lexical adjustment cannot be traced back to properties of entries in the lexical inventory.
