Semantic Constraints on Lexical Categories
Children a re prodigious word learners . able to gain substantial information abou t a word's meaning o n the basis of even a single encounter with the word in context . T w o experiments a r e reported which test the hypothesis that the notion "possible word meaning' ' plays a role in constraining the inferences that adult language users make abou t new words encountered in coniext. T h e resu...
متن کاملOn the Problem of Lexical Semantic Change
The article provides an insight into a problem of lexical semantic change. A short historical outline of the development of semantic studies is given. The authors analyze some of the most important stages in the history of the formation of this field. The existing approaches to dealing with form and meaning, namely semasiological and onomasiological ones are discussed. The authors consider the ...
متن کاملOn the nature of semantic constraints on lexical access.
We present two eye-tracking experiments that investigate lexical frequency and semantic context constraints in spoken-word recognition in German. In both experiments, the pivotal words were pairs of nouns overlapping at onset but varying in lexical frequency. In Experiment 1, German listeners showed an expected frequency bias towards high-frequency competitors (e.g., Blume, 'flower') when instr...
متن کاملOn the Arbitrariness of Lexical Categories
In this paper, we look at lexical categories and their predictability from a machine learning perspective. Starting from linguistic intuitions about predictability in three different domains, we show how standard techniques for analyzing classification tasks arive at a similar predictability scale. In the second part of the paper, we carry out machine learning experiments covering these domains...
متن کاملThe redundancy of lexical categories
In this paper I argue that the familiar lexical category labels, N, V, A, P or equivalently the features such as [±N, ±V] are redundant in a theory which admits a level of argument structure. I modify Zwart’s (1992) conception of a-structure by arguing that major class members always include a ‘referential role’: for nouns, (for ‘eventuality’) for verbs and (‘attribute’) for adjecti...
