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 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...
متن کاملInference and Word Meaning
Last week we saw that it is possible to construct an underspecified semantic representation of sentence meaning compositionally in (R)MRS. However, although much of this representation is motivated by work on formal semantics (e.g. generalized quantifiers), (R)MRS itself is not a logic with proof and model theory. Rather it describes sets of trees of well-formed formulas in a neo-Davidsonian ve...
متن کاملexercise types and word meaning remembrance
the present study is an attempt to contribute to the l2 acquisition research through finding an appropriate answer to the question usually asked by both language teachers and learners, namely how to learn vocabulary and how to retain meanings in memory over time. we have chosen to discover the effects of two major types of productive exercises, writing and oral production exercises, on the reme...

Semantics: literal non-situation specific meaning of words + the meaning of the way words are combined = the starting point from which the whole meaning of utterance is constructed. Pragmatics: the meaning the speaker intends to communicate in a particular utterance. One of the questions sema...
