Predicting Human Brain Activity Associated with Noun Meanings
Recent brain imaging studies have shown that different spatial patterns of neural activation are associated with thinking about different semantic categories of words and pictures (e.g., tools, buildings, animals). As a next step we seek a general theory capable of predicting the neural activity associated with arbitrary words not yet included in experiments. We present here the first such pred...
متن کاملBody-part-specific Representations of Semantic Noun Categories
Word meaning processing in the brain involves ventrolateral temporal cortex, but a semantic contribution of the dorsal stream, especially frontocentral sensorimotor areas, has been controversial. We here examine brain activation during passive reading of object-related nouns from different semantic categories, notably animal, food, and tool words, matched for a range of psycholinguistic feature...
متن کاملLinguistic Variability and Adaptation in Quantifier Meanings
People’s representations of most and arguably all linguistic and non-linguistic categories are probabilistic. However, in linguistic theory, quantifier meanings have traditionally been defined set-theoretically in terms of categorical evaluation functions. In 4 “adaptation” experiments, we provide evidence for the alternative hypothesis that quantifiers are represented as probability distributi...
متن کاملImproving the Interpretation of Noun Phrases with Cross-linguistic Information
This paper addresses the automatic classification of semantic relations in noun phrases based on cross-linguistic evidence from a set of five Romance languages. A set of novel semantic and contextual English– Romance NP features is derived based on empirical observations on the distribution of the syntax and meaning of noun phrases on two corpora of different genre (Europarl and CLUVI). The fea...
متن کاملLearning Noun and Adjective Meanings: A Connectionist Account
Why do children learn nouns such as cup faster than dimensional adjectives such as big? Most explanations of this well-known phenomenon rely on prior knowledge in the child of the nounadjective distinction or on the logical priority of nouns as the arguments of predicates. In this paper we examine an alternative account, one which seeks to explain the relative ease of nouns over adjectives in t...
