He argues that our minds organize the information involved in communicative acts in a format that can be modeled in geometric or topological terms -- in what he terms conceptual spaces, extending the theory he presented in an earlier book by that name. Many semantic theories consider the meanings of words as relatively stable and independent of the communicative context. Gärdenfors focuses instead on how various forms of communication establish a system of meanings that becomes shared between interlocutors. He argues that these "meetings of mind" depend on the underlying geometric structures, and that these structures facilitate language learning. Turning to lexical semantics, Gärdenfors argues that a unified theory of word meaning can be developed by using conceptual spaces. He shows that the meaning of different word classes can be given a cognitive grounding, and offers semantic analyses of nouns, adjectives, verbs, and prepositions. He also presents models of how the meanings of words are composed to form new meanings and of the basic semantic role of sentences. Finally, he considers the future implications of his theory for robot semantics and the Semantic Web. 001412116 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001412116 650_0 $$aSemantics$$xPsychological aspects. 001412116 650_0 $$aCognition. 001412116 650_0 $$aCognitive science. 001412116 650_0 $$aPsycholinguistics. 001412116 653__ $$aCOGNITIVE SCIENCES/General 001412116 653__ $$aLINGUISTICS & LANGUAGE/General 001412116 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001412116 852__ $$bebk 001412116 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/9629.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001412116 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001412116 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1412116$$pGLOBAL_SET 001412116 980__ $$aBIB 001412116 980__ $$aEBOOK 001412116 982__ $$aEbook 001412116 983__ $$aOnline
