 Qualia structure is the primary explanatory device by which GL accounts for polysemy. The sentence “Mary finished the sandwich” receives the default interpretation “Mary finished eating the sandwich” because the argument structure of ‘finish’ requires an action as direct object, and the qualia structure of ‘sandwich’ allows the generation of the appropriate sense via type coercion (Pustejovsky 2006). GL is an ongoing research program (Pustejovsky et al. 2012) that has led to significant applications in computational linguistics (e.g., Pustejovsky &amp; Jezek 2008; Pustejovsky &amp; Rumshisky 2008). But like the theories mentioned so far, it has been subject to criticisms. A first general criticism is that the decompositional assumptions underlying GL are unwarranted and should be replaced by an atomist view of word meaning (Fodor &amp; Lepore 1998; see Pustejovsky 1998 for a reply). A second criticism is that GL’s focus on variations in word meaning which depend on sentential context and qualia structure is too narrow, since since contextual variations in word meaning often depend on more complex factors, such as the ability to keep track of coherence relations in a discourse (e.g., Asher &amp; Lascarides 1995; Lascarides &amp; Copestake 1998; Kehler 2002; Asher 2011). Finally, the empirical adequacy of the framework has been called into question. It has been argued that the formal apparatus of GL leads to incorrect predictions, that qualia structure sometimes overgenerates or undergenerates interpretations, and that the rich lexical entries postulated by GL are psychologically implausible (e.g., Jayez 2001; Blutner 2002).
