At Least Some Determiners Aren't Determiners
One of the success stories in formal semantics is the analysis of NPs as generalized quantifiers, which can be traced back from Barwise & Cooper (1981) via Montague to Frege. The great attraction of this analysis is that it allows for a compositional analysis of the meaning of noun phrases that is consistent with independently motivated assumptions about their syntax. For example, Barwise and C...
متن کاملSome (but not all) unattested determiners are unlearnable
A striking cross-linguistic generalisation about the semantics of determiners is that they never express nonconservative relations. To account for this one might hypothesise that the mechanisms underlying human language acquisition are not compatible with nonconservative determiner meanings. We stress that the crosslinguistic generalisation alone should not be taken as decisive evidence for thi...
متن کاملSome Aspects of Semantic Representation of Polish Determiners 185 Some Aspects of Semantic Representation of Polish Determiners Wybrane aspekty reprezentacji semantycznej określników języka polskiego
The paper concerns some methods of semantic analysis of Polish determiners which can be used in Machine Translation. First, a brief summary of traditional approaches to the semantics of Polish noun phrases is presented together with a short discussion. The difference between reference and quantification is argued to be important for proper understanding of some phenomena. Next, a unified model ...
متن کاملThe Semantics of Determiners
The study of generalized quantifiers over the past 15 years has enriched enormously our understanding of natural language determiners (Dets). It has yielded answers to questions raised independently within generative grammar and it has provided us with new semantic generalizations, ones that were basically unformulable without the conceptual and technica apparatus of generalized quantifier theo...
متن کاملEmbodied determiners
In this paper we test the dominant paradigm for modeling the semantics of determined noun phrases called Generalized Quantifier Theory in embodied interactions with robots. We contrast the traditional approach with a new approach, called Clustering Determination, which is heavily inspired by research on grounding of sensorimotor categories, and we show that our approach performs better in noisy...
