Lexical meaning as ontologies and construals Metonymizationa and facetization
Philosophically, the notion of ontology is related to the nature of categories as we perceive them. In this paper, the notion of ontology is more specifically related to the nature of lexical knowledge and thereby also to the debate concerning the linguistic/encyclopaedic divide. Ontological knowledge, as it is understood here, is conceptual in nature. It is neither totally part of what is trad...
متن کاملTowards a theory of lexical meaning as ontologies and construals
The purpose of this paper is to propose a framework of lexical meaning, broadly along the lines of Cognitive Semantics (Langacker 1987a). The paper focuses on interpretations of adjective-noun (ADJ N ) combinations in English. Within the proposed model, all aspects of meaning are to be explained in terms of properties of ontologies in conceptual space, i.e. properties of content ontologies and ...
متن کاملUsing Ontologies and the Web to Learn Lexical Semantics
A variety of text processing tasks require or benefit from semantic resources such as ontologies and lexicons. Creating these resources manually is tedious, time consuming, and prone to error. We present a new algorithm for using the web to determine the correct concept in an existing ontology to lexicalize previously unknown words, such as might be discovered while processing texts. A detailed...
متن کاملLexical Semantics and Pragmatics
In this paper I discuss some general problems one is confronted with when trying to analyze the utterance of words within concrete conceptual and contextual settings and to go beyond the aspects of meaning typically investigated by a contrastive analysis of lexemes within the Katz-Fodor tradition of semantics. After emphasizing some important consequences of the traditional view, several phenom...
متن کاملCompetence in lexical semantics
We investigate from the competence standpoint two recent models of lexical semantics, algebraic conceptual representations and continuous vector models. Characterizing what it means for a speaker to be competent in lexical semantics remains perhaps the most significant stumbling block in reconciling the two main threads of semantics, Chomsky’s cognitivism and Montague’s formalism. As Partee (19...
