Linguistic Structure Evolves to Match Meaning Structure
Quantitative analysis has usually highlighted the random nature of linguistic forms (Zipf, 1949). We zoom in on three structured samples of language (numerals; playing cards; and a corpus of artificial languages from Kirby, Cornish & Smith 2008) to quantitative explore and illustrate the idea that linguistic forms are nonrandom in that their structure reflects the structure of the meanings they...
متن کاملDNA Structure Helps Predict Protein Binding.
Incorporating information about DNA structure can increase the reliability of predictions of transcription factor binding sites.
متن کاملNatural, metaphoric, and linguistic auditory direction signals have distinct influences on visual motion processing.
To interact with our dynamic environment, the brain merges motion information from auditory and visual senses. However, not only "natural" auditory MOTION, but also "metaphoric" de/ascending PITCH and SPEECH (e.g., "left/right"), influence the visual motion percept. Here, we systematically investigate whether these three classes of direction signals influence visual motion perception through sh...
متن کاملHow Word Meaning Influences Word Reading
Understanding how we read is a fundamental question for psychology, with critical implications for education. Studies of word reading tend to focus on the mappings between the written and spoken forms of words. In this paper, we review evidence from developmental, neuroimaging, neuropsychological, and computational studies that show that knowledge of word meanings is inextricably involved in wo...
متن کاملMeaning Helps Learning Syntax
In this paper, we propose a new framework for the computational learning of formal grammars with positive data. In this model, both syntactic and semantic information are taken into account, which seems cognitively relevant for the modeling of natural language learning. The syntactic formalism used is the one of Lambek categorial grammars and meaning is represented with logical formulas. The pr...
