Concepts across categories

چکیده
Verbs or adjectives and their nominalizations and certain adverb adjective pairs can be argued to introduce the same concept. This can be shown through inference patterns, which can be explained if we assume Davidsonian eventualities underlying all predicates. We make a contribution to the underlying state discussion by investigating the advantages and disadvantages of Davidsonian versus Kimian states for statives such as copular predicates. Findings are implemented in our parser Delilah.

Descriptive formal categories cannot be equated across languages because the criter...

متن کاملSpace-The Primal Frontier? Spatial Cognition and the Origins of Concepts.
The more carefully we look, the more impressive the repertoire of infant concepts seems to be.

It is tempting to try to explain these abilities in terms of a core capacity in spatial cognition that emerges very early in development and then gets extende...
