Semantic Natural Kinds Brendan

چکیده
The first of the two sentences in (1) entails the second; necessarily, if the first is true then so is the second. Moreover, (1) is an instance of a more general pattern whose validity doesn’t seem to depend on the specific meanings of the words in (1). The adverb ‘quickly’, for example, can be replaced with any of a wide range of adverbs without loss of validity; analogous remarks hold for the verb ‘leave’. Here are a few more paradigm examples of structural entailment:

Knowledge of natural kinds in semantic dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
We examined the semantic impairment for natural kinds in patients with probable Alzheimer's disease (AD) and semantic dementia (SD) using an inductive reasoning paradigm. To learn about the relationships between natural kind exemplars and how these are distinguished from manufactured artifacts, subjects judged the strength of arguments such as "Humans have a chemical called sebum. Therefore, fr...
متن کاملWater is Not H
In defending semantic externalism, philosophers of language have often assumed that there is a straightforward connection between scientific kinds and the natural kinds recognized by ordinary language users.1 For example, the claim that water is H2O assumes that the ordinary language kind water corresponds to a chemical kind, which contains all the molecules with molecular formula H2O as its me...
متن کاملWeb Rules Need Two Kinds of Negation
In natural language, and in some knowledge representation systems, such as extended logic programs, there are two kinds of negation: a weak negation expressing non-truth, and a strong negation expressing explicit falsity. In this paper I argue that, like in several basic computational languages, such as OCL and SQL, two kinds of negation are also needed in the Semantic Web.
متن کاملImplications of Distributed Representations for Semantic Processing: Evidence from Alzheimer’s Disease
Prior work by Gonnerman and colleagues presented a theory of semantic processing in normal and impaired populations. Their account incorporates distributed representations and predicts a complex relationship between semantic knowledge and naming ability. According to this account, during the course of progressive brain damage, one should observe different relationships between damage to semanti...
متن کاملLearning semantic structures from in-domain documents
Semantic analysis is a core area of natural language understanding that has typically focused on predicting domain-independent representations. However, such representations are unable to fully realize the rich diversity of technical content prevalent in a variety of specialized domains. Taking the standard supervised approach to domainspecific semantic analysis requires expensive annotation ef...
