 Two-Level Semantics shares Jackendoff’s and Wierzbicka’s commitment to a descriptive paradigm that anchors word meaning to a stable decompositional template, all the while avoiding the immediate complications arising from a restrictive characterization of the type of conceptual factors that can modulate such stable decompositional templates in contexts. But there are, once again, a few significant issues. A first problem is definitional accuracy: defining the SF of ‘university’ as \(\lambda x [\textrm{purpose} [x w] \mathbin{\&amp;} \textit{advanced study and teaching} [w]]\) seems too loose to reflect the subtle differences in meaning among ‘university’ and related terms designating institutions for higher education, such as ‘college’ or ‘academy’. Furthermore, the apparatus of Two-Level Semantics relies heavily on lambda expressions, which, as some commentators have noted (e.g., Taylor 1994, 1995), appears ill-suited to represent the complex forms of world knowledge we often rely on to fix the meaning of highly polysemous words.
