Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

orig.cloth Minor rubbing. An ink mark to bottom page-edge. VG. 24x15cm, xiv,220 pp. "Drawing on ideas from cognitive linguistics, connectionism, and perception, "The Human Semantic Potential" describes a connectionist model that learns perceptually grounded semantics for natural language in spatial terms. Languages differ in the ways in which they structure space, and Reiger's aim is to have the model perform its learning task for terms from any natural language. The system has so far succeeded in learning spatial terms from English, German, Russian, Japanese and Mixtec. The model views simple movies of two-dimensional objects moving relative to one another and learns to classify them linguistically in accordance with the spatial system of some natural language. The overall goal is to determine which sorts of spatial configurations and events are learnable as the semantics for spatial terms and which are not. Ultimately, the model and its theoretical underpinnings are a step in the direction of articulating biologically based constraints on the nature of human semantic systems. Along the way Reiger takes up such substantial issues as the attractions and liabilities of PDP and structural connectionist modelling, the problem of learning without direct negative evidence, and the area of linguistic universals, which is addressed in the model itself. Trained on spatial terms from different languages, the model permits observations about possible bases of linguistic universals and interlanguage variation" - Publisher's description. Minor rubbing.
