The Pragmatics of Word Meaning
- Journal of Linguistics
"... this paper, we'll consider three examples where this occurs: logical metonymy (e.g., enjoy the book means enjoy reading the book), adjectives (e.g., the interpretation of fast in fast car, fast motorway, fast typist etc.), and noun-verb agreement. We'll argue for a new version of default i ..."

Constraints children place on word meanings
- Cognitive Science
, 1990
"... This paper views lexical acquisition OS a problem of induction: Children must figure out the meaning of a given term, given the large number of possible mean-ings any term could have. If children had to consider, evaluate, and rule out an unlimited number of hypotheses obout each word in order to fi ..."

On the nature and scope of featural representations of word meaning
- Journal of Experimental Psychology: General
, 1997
"... Behavioral experiments and a connectionist model were used to explore the use of featural representations i the computation of word meaning. The research focused on the role of correlations among features, and differences between speeded and untimed tasks with respect to the use of featural informat ..."

World knowledge and word meaning
- Proceedings of the Third Workshop on Theoretical Issues in Natural Language Processing, TINLAP-3. Las Cruces
, 1987
"... We use words to talk about the world. Therefore, to understand what words mean, we must have a prior explication of how we view the world. In a sense, e orts in the past to decompose words into semantic primitives were attempts to link word meaning to a theory of the world, where the set of semantic ..."

Learning Word Meanings by Instruction
, 1996
"... We develop techniques for learning the meanings of unknown words in context. Working within a compositional semantics framework, we write down equations in which a sentence’s meaning is some combination function of the meaning of its words. When one of the words is unknown, we ask for a paraphrase o ..."
