Contextual Vocabulary Acquisition: A Computational Theory and Educational Curriculum
We discuss a research project that develops and applies algorithms for computational contextual vocabulary acquisition (CVA): learning the meaning of unknown words from context. We try to unify a disparate literature on the topic of CVA from psychology, firstand secondlanguage acquisition, and reading science, in order to help develop these algorithms: We use the knowledge gained from the compu...
متن کاملContextual Vocabulary Acquisition: From Algorithm to Curriculum
Deliberate contextual vocabulary acquisition (CVA) is a reader’s ability to figure out a (not the) meaning of an unknown word from its “context”, without external sources of help such as dictionaries or people. The appropriate context for such CVA is the “belief-revised integration” of the reader’s prior knowledge with the reader’s “internalization” of the text. We discuss unwarranted assumptio...
متن کاملContextually Defining ‘Gnomic’ and Thoughts on Adjective Algorithms
This paper addresses the use of computational contextual vocabulary acquisition in finding a meaning for the adjective ‘gnomic.’ Computational contextual vocabulary is the use of algorithms to process a body of prior knowledge and a cotext, or the actual physical passage and unknown word, and extract a definition of that unknown word. The process was performed using the Semantic Network Process...
متن کاملFrom Temporality to Eternity: Three Philosophical Approaches
This article studies the problem of eternal life from a philosophical perspective. It focuses on the approaches of Bergson, Husserl, and Heidegger from contemporary philosophy, and shows that using these three philosophical approaches can better explain certain aspects of revealed theology, such as resurrection of flesh, eternity in a transcendent dimension, and eternal life as the angels in he...
متن کاملWhat Is the “Context” for Contextual Vocabulary Acquisition?
“Contextual” vocabulary acquisition is the active, deliberate acquisition of a meaning for a word in a text by reasoning from textual clues and prior knowledge, including language knowledge and hypotheses developed from prior encounters with the word, but without external sources of help such as dictionaries or people. But what is “context”? Is it just the surrounding text? Does it include the ...
