Hi James,
I think you may notice that you've changed lexemes, thus different
semantics involved.
In this case, same meaning may be discerned across
different uses. I'm not disputing this type of thing at all. If you take
closer notice, this is entirely allowed for in the quote from my review.
It's the rigid definition of equating semantics to uncancellable meaning
is what I dispute and which has not been demonstrated yet on this list
despite this topic being raised again and again.
Regards,
David Kummerow.
Hi David,
1) Newton watched as the apple fell upwards.
2) The Mary Rose sank from the bottom of the ocean to the surface of the
water.
3) The space shuttle landed in the sky about 3,000 feet above London.
No doubt the above sentences make complete sense to you with no comic
value.

Hi James,
It's the English I myself use and hear about me, nothing comically meant
by it at all.
I guess you see my point now, that there isn't a single meaning across
the uses I've brought. Semantics defined as uncancellable meaning leaves
"plod" in my dialect without semantics. Better to define semantics
prototypically, and probably best done by way of frame analysis.

David Kummerow.
Hi David,
I don't know which variant dialect of English you are using but the
following sentence doesn't make much sense to me (other than comic
value).
