.... 1987, and the various references therein) In the study of both the nominal and the verbal lexicons, a set of expressions was affirmed to be prototypical in its meaning, and the classic idea that the meaning of an expression is a set of necessary and sufficient conditions of application (see Katz 1972, and Carnap 1956b) appears now even more inconsistent that it did in the past, since empirical arguments and not just theoretical problems demonstrate its failure to explain the application of a set of predicates [FOOTNOTE 1 ] From this viewpoint it must be stressed, however, that Rosch s ....

....Thus, if certain natural assumptions about truth, knowledge, or belief are added to such a semantical theory, and the theory is then taught to the ideal speaker, the ideal speaker will be inconsistent. The difficulty is that, on the psychological ideal, the notions of semantics will 6 See Katz [8] and [9] 7 For interpretive semantics, see Jackendoff [6] and the references given there. For generative semantics, see lakoff [11] and the references given there. 4 be recursive. Since such notions can be captured in simple formal languages, and certainly in human languages, there is nothing ....

....where each feature necessarily holds of each and every subordinate concept and the set of features is sufficient to delimit reference to the corresponding category of objects in the world. For example, bachelor can be defined in terms of the necessary features unmarried , male and adult (cf. Katz 1972). Thus, there cannot be a bachelor who is not unmarried , male and adult and any object in the world of which these features hold is, by definition, a bachelor . Finally, the superordinate subordinate distinction is characterized in terms of a subset relation between concepts which gives rise to ....

....become case labels, in the sense of Case Grammar e.g. Richens TO functioned very like the Destination Case. At bottom, she believed that such interlinguas were in need of some form of empirical justification and could not be treated as unprovable and arbitrary assumptions for a system, in the way Katz (1972) had tried to do by arguing from the role of assumed entities in physics and mathematics; they must, she thought, be grounded in some kind of distributional facts. One weak form of empirical support that was available by 1966 was the fact that statistics derived from dictionaries showed that the ....
