Word meaning, sentence meaning, and syntactic meaning
The lexicon has long been assumed to be the source of all conceptual content expressed by sentences. Syntactic structures have correspondingly been seen only as providing instructions for the assembly of the concepts expressed by words. Under this view, sentences have meaning, but the syntactic structures which sentences instantiate do not. This paper challenges this view: it uses the phenomeno...
متن کاملPrepositional Phrase Attachment over Word Embedding Products
We present a low-rank multi-linear model for the task of solving prepositional phrase attachment ambiguity (PP task). Our model exploits tensor products of word embeddings, capturing all possible conjunctions of latent embeddings. Our results on a wide range of datasets and task settings show that tensor products are the best compositional operation and that a relatively simple multi-linear mod...
متن کاملNon-Propositional Modal Meaning
The semantics of evidentials is often analyzed as a subcase or a special case of modality in the recent formal literature (Izvorski, 1997; Faller, 2002; Speas, to appear; McCready and Ogata, 2005, among others). Moreover, some modern linguists consider the analysis of modality as a subcase of evidential or a speech act modifier (Papafragou 2000; Huddleston and Pullum 2002; Drubig 2001, among ot...
متن کاملCross-Modal Grounding of Meaning
The current study investigates how the speaker grounds meaning for a referent by gestural repetition along with speech in daily conversation. The domain of analysis is the stretch of talk that encompasses the beginning and the end of the joint action during which a pair of similar gestures is produced by different speakers across turns to depict the same referent. A particular cross-modal groun...
متن کاملPragmatics and Word Meaning
In this paper, we explore the interaction between lexical semantics and pragmatics. We argue that linguistic processing is informationally encapsulated and utilises relatively simple ‘taxonomic’ lexical semantic knowledge. On this basis, defeasible lexical generalisations deliver defeasible parts of logical form. In contrast, pragmatic inference is openended and involves arbitrary real-world kn...
