Glue semantics

Glue Semantics is a general framework for semantic composition and the
syntax–semantics interface. It assumes an autonomous syntax and therefore needs to be
paired with some syntactic theory. Here the focus is on LFG as the syntactic
 theory. The Glue logic, a fragment of linear logic, is presented first. This highlights
the resource sensitivity of semantic composition in Glue. Second, Glue is presented
without reference to LFG or any other syntactic theory. This highlights Glue’s
property of flexible composition. Third, the syntax–semantics interface is consid-
ered. This highlights Glue’s autonomy of syntax and serves as a way to compare
and constrast Glue with well-known alternatives. Fourth, Glue is paired with LFG
(LFG+Glue), which highlights another important property of the theory, 
syntax/semantics non-isomorphism. Lastly, a number of particular phenomena are briefly
reviewed and their analyses sketched: quantifier scope, modification, tense, events,
argument structure, multiword expressions, and anaphora.
