Abstract
godardOparis7, jussieu, fr Current research in lexical semantics has brought into focus (i) the existence of general tendencies (’princi-ples’) ac:o ~ languages or inside language families, (ii) the existence of numerous exceptions to these tenden-cies. To reconcile these two facts, it seems natural to endorle s general conception of principles-with-exceptions or ’subregularities ’1, usually cashed on a form of default logic. This leaves open the question of how to identify and manage the exceptions in a more precise way, i.e. not just as marginal by-products of a subregulsr/ty system. In tiffs paper, we analyze dif-ferent examples where complex cases can be handled explicitly, and show that pzincip|e-bused approaches require, as a natural complement, to be controlled by more local information.
