 Pustejovsky abstract   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
On this view, much of our conceptual knowledge of objects is encoded within a structured language, known as Qualia structure, that admits of richer expressiveness and dynamic compositional operations.
As pointed out in Pustejovsky (1995), spatial prepositions can be divided into two categories: locational and functional.
While locational prepositions designate a relation of spatial proximity, the preposition 'at' and constrained uses of 'in' designate more than a locational relation, adding also a sense of function or purpose associated with the location.

The lexicon has emerged from the study of computational linguistics as a fundamental resource that enables a variety of linguistic processes to operate in the course of tasks ranging from language analysis and text processing to machine translation.
Lexical ambiguity presents one of the most intractable problems for language processing studies and, not surprisingly, it is at the core of research in lexical semantics.
This reader collects and introduces important work in linguistics, computer science, artificial intelligence, and computational linguistics on the use of linguistic devices in natural languages to situate events in time: whether they are past, present, or future; whether they are real or hypothetical; when an event might have occurred, and how long...

A preliminary version of this approach is presented in Pustejovsky, Hanks and Rumshisky (2004, COLING).
We argue that words senses are not directly encoded in the lexicon of a language, but rather that each word is associated with one or more stereotypical syntagmatic patterns.

 Ta! Interview with James Pustejovsky
James Pustejovsky was born and raised in Texas, and did an undergraduate degree in Linguistics and Mathematics under Chomsky at MIT.
However, in that case, although you are capturing how the meaning postulates are structured, you are arguably obviating the utility of the decomposition itself.
As an undergrad I was a student of Chomsky's, and my Ph.D. work (Pustejovsky, 1985) was also very generatively inspired; it was largely just a Government and Binding syntax thesis.
