Towards a Computational Account of Inferentialist Meaning
Both in formal and computational natural language semantics, the classical correspondence view of meaning – and, more specifically, the view that the meaning of a declarative sentence coincides with its truth conditions – is widely held. Truth (in the world or a situation) plays the role of the given, and meaning is analysed in terms of it. Both language and the world feature in this perspectiv...
متن کاملAn Account of Proceduralist Meaning
Within both game studies and development communities, it is often argued that a game’s processes (rules and goals) are of primary significance when considering a game’s meaning. In opposition to this position, some claim that this approach denies player subjectivity by ignoring the dynamic, culturally-embedded ways in which players create, rather than receive, meaning through play. This paper c...
متن کاملWord Learning and Verbal Short-Term Memory: A Computational Account
Recent behavioral evidence suggests that human vocabulary acquisition processes and verbal short-term memory abilities may be related (Gathercole & Baddeley, 1993). Investigation of this relationship has considerable significance for understanding of human language, of working memory, and of the relationship between shortand long-term memory systems. This paper presents a computational model of...
متن کاملThe meaning of although: a Relevance Theoretic account
The meaning of concessive connectives like although is notoriously difficult to capture, mainly because these connectives do not contribute to the truth conditions of utterances containing them. In this paper, a Relevance Theoretic account of the meaning of although is given. The connective is analysed as encoding procedural meaning, constraining the inferential side of utterance interpretation...
