"text": "One of the most important problems in modeling semantics of Natural Language is undoubtfully the representational locality of the chosen formal features. Formal locality is apparently contradictory to empirical facts; the semantic identity of a linguistic unit-at whatever level it might be-is determined only within global structures. In formal constructions one generally recovers such global structures by more elementary ones, given by locally necessary and sufficient definitional means. Nevertheless, in Natural Language the primacy is rather to the global structures as they are necessary for the definition of the semantic character of the more elementary ones.", |

"text": "In interpretational semantics [Rastier, 1987] this last constitutes the major principle. The problem in such an approach is the construction of interpretation strategies. From a structuralistic point of view this turns out to be equivalent to the determination of a specific recurrence of semantic components giving isotopies. An isotopy is a form of logically coherent actualization of a possible co-occurrence of such components. Many different strategies may be operational and thus many interpretational schemata may be possible, corresponding to different senses of the same text. What precisely changes across such strategies is the semantic identity of the relevant linguistic entities insofar as different semic actualizations are selected.", |

The way metaphors such as this one organize our everyday language is illustrated by the fact that the following expressions are commonly accepted: \"Your claims are indefensible\", \"He attacked every weak point in my argument\", \"His criticism were right on target\", \"I demolished his argument\", \"I've never won an argument with him\", \"You disagree? Okay, shoot!\", \"He shot down all my arguments\", to cite but a few. As Lakoff and Johnson notice, it is important to see that we do not only talk about arguments in terms of war, but we actually experience arguments like a real war with enemies, allies, battles, positions, strategies, etc.", |

The formal framework presented in this paper is the first step towards a formalism able to capture some of the contextual features required to implement a system in this sense of doing some semantic interpretation of natural language.
