Linguistics is dominated by Generative Grammar, as exemplified by Chomsky and many others [113], which treats the lexicon as part of the performative aspect of language that need not be accounted for in the grammar. There was a brief attempt at Generate Semantics in the late 60's and early 70's [68], but this didn't fare well since it was too closely tied to transformational grammar. Consequently, there is little to be found on the lexicon in traditional grammatical theory.
Current Linguistics work in semantics mostly is in terms of Logical Form (LF). Although LF is similar to the representation of meaning used in other fields, in Linguistics it is generally restricted to dealing with structural meaning, such as the syntactic constraints on certain types of anaphoric relationships [113]. Some researchers address semantics within the generative framework in more depth [55], such as semantic interpretation under different syntactic contexts. But there is still an emphasis on quantification and other operations that are independent of the argument word meanings.
