Abstract
We address the problem of providing a logical characterization of reasoning based on stereotypes. Following $\backslash$cite\Leh98\ we take a semantic perspective and we base our model on a notion of semantic distance. While still leading to cumulative reasoning, our notion of distance does, unlike Lehmann's, allow reasoning under inconsistent information. Key words: Stereotypes, prototypes, cumulative reasoning, nonmonotonic logic, default-assumption logic.
