Pustejovsky (1995: 8)<br />
It is the goal <strong>of</strong> any lexical semantic theory<br />
to adequately classify the lexical items <strong>of</strong><br />
a language into classes predictive <strong>of</strong> their<br />
syntactic and semantic expression.<br />
Furthermore, such a theory should not<br />
merely map the meanings <strong>of</strong> lexical items<br />
per sentence, on an individual basis.<br />
Rather, it should capture the semantic<br />
relations between words in such a way<br />
which facilitates this mapping.<br />
