My first critical awareness of the tensions between different methodologies arose 5 years ago when preparing the materials for two undergraduate courses: ‘Operations Management’ and ‘Strategy’. The former was concerned with explanation in which there is the assumption of causality; the operations environment could be designed in an optimal manner with predictable behaviour—the domain of those f...

This paper presents a large-scale evaluation of bag-of-words distributional models on two datasets from priming experiments involving syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations. We interpret the variation in performance achieved by different settings of the model parameters as an indication of which aspects of distributional patterns characterize these types of relations. Contrary to what has been ...

one of the criticisms of comparative philosophy is the incommensurability of different traditions. that is, various systems or disciplines, conceptually and methodologically different, are grown in the context of different traditions and thus making them incommensurable.  xianglong zhang holds that incommensurability is because of the lack of grounds for comparison. to accomplish fruitful compa...

In this paper we propose a mixed method for Word Sense Disambiguation, which combines lexical knowledge from EuroWordNet with corpora. The method tries to give a partial solution to the problem of the gap between lexicon and corpus by means of the approximation of the corpus to the lexicon. On the basis of the interaction that holds in natural language between the syntagmatic and the paradigmat...

This paper raises and discusses three questions about the structure of Meaning-Text Theory, based on consideration of the role that paradigmatic Lexical Functions play in its model of the lexicon: Is the paradigmatic-syntagmatic distinction meaningful? Do paradigmatic LFs represent redundant semantic information (and if so, is the redundancy justified)? And finally, might definitions of lexemes...

Coaching scholarship (CS) sits at the intersection of multiple paradigms and disciplines. Despite eclectic nature field, most scholars operate only within their preferred paradigm, which limits how coaching is conceptualized practiced. To address this limitation, we used dialectic stance to analyze bibliometric records CS produced between 1970 2020 from both an interpretivist poststructuralist ...

From the perspective of structural linguistics, we explore paradigmatic and syntagmatic lexical relations for Chinese POS tagging, an important and challenging task for Chinese language processing. Paradigmatic lexical relations are explicitly captured by word clustering on large-scale unlabeled data and are used to design new features to enhance a discriminative tagger. Syntagmatic lexical rel...
