2. 1. The Normativity of Thought and Meaning

   Author : Karl Karlander; Peter Pagin; Anandi Hattiangadi; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; meaning; normativity; Kripke; Wittgenstein; Boghossian; doxastic voluntarism; Toxin paradox; rationality; Theoretical philosophy; Teoretisk filosofi; Theoretical Philosophy; teoretisk filosofi;

   Abstract : In recent years the normativity of thought and meaning has been the subject of an extensive debate. What is at issue is whether intentionality has normative features, and if so, whether that constitutes a problem for naturalistic attempts to account for intentional phenomena. READ MORE

4. 2. Ensembles of Semantic Spaces : On Combining Models of Distributional Semantics with Applications in Healthcare

   Author : Aron Henriksson; Hercules Dalianis; Martin Duneld; Nigel Collier; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; natural language processing; machine learning; distributional semantics; ensemble learning; semantic space ensembles; medical informatics; electronic health records; Computer and Systems Sciences; data- och systemvetenskap;

   Abstract : Distributional semantics allows models of linguistic meaning to be derived from observations of language use in large amounts of text. By modeling the meaning of words in semantic (vector) space on the basis of co-occurrence information, distributional semantics permits a quantitative interpretation of (relative) word meaning in an unsupervised setting, i.

5. 3. Word Meaning Negotiation in Online Discussion Forum Communication

   Author : Jenny Myrendal; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; linguistics; pragmatics; computer-mediated communication; CMC; dialogue; semantic coordination; word meaning negotiation; discussion forum communication; conversation analysis; CA;

   Abstract : We all know that lexicons contain definitions of the meanings of words, but when we communicate with other people, these are not the kinds of meaning we use in interaction. In conversation, we coordinate with each other in a meaning-making process where we make use of a more flexible semantic quality associated with words, called meaning potential. READ MORE

6. 4. Interpretive Functions of Adjectives in English : A Cognitive Approach

   Author : Helena Frännhag; Carita Paradis; Kristin Davidse; Engelska; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; adjective; meaning; meaning creation; interpretation; formal interpretive function; semantic interpretive function; kind identification; element identification; identity provision; stipulation; specification; Languages and linguistics; Språkvetenskap; Lingvistik; Linguistics; Engelsk språkvetenskap; English; specification; stipulation; adjective; noun; meaning creation; cognitive semantics; interpretation; formal interpretive function; semantic interpretive function; kind identification; identity provision; element identification;

   Abstract : This thesis presents a theoretical discussion of meaning creation in general, and interpretive functions of English adjectives in particular. The discussion rests on a dynamic view of meaning and interpretation, according to which there are no fixed linguistics meanings – not even for single lexemes. READ MORE

7. 5. The Word-Space Model : Using distributional analysis to represent syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations between words in high-dimensional vector spaces

   Author : Magnus Sahlgren; Jussi Karlgren; Fabrizio Sebastiani; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The word-space model is a computational model of word meaning that utilizes the distributional patterns of words collected over large text data to represent semantic similarity between words in terms of spatial proximity. The model has been used for over a decade, and has demonstrated its mettle in numerous experiments and applications. READ MORE
