We measure the number of true proportional analogies between chunks in two typologically different languages on a similar corpus: a 20,000 sentence long Japanese-English bicorpus. We verify that at least 96% of analogies of form between chunks are also analogies of meaning. We conclude that analogy ought to be considered as a reliable structuring device between chunks.

Literal meaning of artefact given by “Oxford Advanced Learner Dictionary” is a “thing made by the people”. In medical science the “fact” is not true; but we observe routinely is called artefact. These defects are referred to as artifacts . They lead to misinterpretations of histopathological diagnosis.

Ordinary first-order logic has the property that two formulas φ and ψ have the same meaning in a structure if and only if the formula φ ↔ ψ is true in the structure. We prove that independence-friendly logic does not have this property. §

A distributed representation has become a popular approach to capturing a word meaning. Besides its success and practical value, however, questions arise about the relationships between a true word meaning and its distributed representation. In this paper, we examine such a relationship via polymodal embedding approach inspired by the theory that humans tend to use diverse sources in developing...

Reasoning about computer programs requires that program variables have well defined meaning. An imperative program may associate different values with a variable X depending on the state of its execution. This is not true of purely functional programs, which model computation using a composition of state-to-state transformations. By way of illustration, consider a program which sums the first N...

What role does meaning selection play in word comprehension, and what neural systems support this selection process? Most words have multiple meanings and are therefore ambiguous. This is true of both homonymous words (words that have multiple unrelated meanings) and polysemous words (words that have multiple related meanings). The extant evidence indicates that meaning selection is an integral...
