Abstract
this paper, we describe how the distinction between conceptual and linguistic semantics probably can assist in reaching this objective, provided that distinguishing between them is not done to rigorously. We present several toy examples to support this view and argue that in a multilingual environment linguistic ontologies should be designed as interfaces between domain conceptualisations and linguistic knowledge bases.
