The semantics of syntactic structures.
Over the past 15 years, both linguists and psycholinguists have shown a growing interest in the idea that syntactic structures can carry meanings that are independent of the meanings of specific words. This article considers how this idea relates to traditional notions of compositionality in generative grammar, and examines two modern theories that, although based on different starting assumpti...
متن کاملEnvironment prototypicality in syntactic alternation
1. Introduction This paper investigates the effect of changing syntactic categories on speaker choice, using the needs to be done ∼ needs doing alternation as the testing ground. The two alternants in this alternation have different syntactic properties , and so we hypothesize that the syntactic preferences of the alternation's environment influence alternant choice. Our hypothesis is that, all...
متن کاملTowards Analogy-based Recommendation: Benchmarking of Perceived Analogy Semantics
Requests for recommendation can be seen as a form of query for candidate items, ranked by relevance. Users are however oen unable to crisply dene what they are looking for. One of the core concepts of natural communication for describing and explaining complex information needs in an intuitive fashion are analogies: e.g., “What is to Christopher Nolan as is 2001: A Space Odyssey to Stanley Ku...
متن کاملLearning Operator Semantics by Analogy
This paper proposes a cognitive model for human procedural skill acquisition based on problem sol\ing in problem spaces and the use or’ an&)g! for buildmg the reprcscnration of operator semantics. Protocol data of computer-naive subjects learning the EhlACS text editor suaests that they use their knowledge of typewriting to decide Hhich commands to use in performing editing tasks. We propose a ...
متن کاملTowards a Semantics for Prioritised Alternation
A new prioritised alternation programming construct and CSP operator have previously been suggested by the author to express behaviour that arises with machine-level prioritised vectored interruption. The semantics of each is considered, though that of prioritisation is deferred given the current lack of consensus regarding a suitable domain. Defining axioms for the operator are tentatively pro...
