Exchange: Confusing Categories, Shifting Targets

Journal of Democracy, 2013
Abstract: Findings in the social sciences too often turn out to be unstable because of the difficulty of and lack of incentives for replication. Bogaards’ initiative to reexamine existing findings on the role of elections in democratization is laudable in principle. Yet, replication is a delicate art and Bogaards attempt is not entirely cogent.

Are there representational shifts during category learning?

Cognitive Psychology, 2002
Early theories of categorization assumed that either rules, or prototypes, or exemplars were exclusively used to mentally represent categories of objects. More recently, hybrid theories of categorization have been proposed that variously combine these different forms of category representation.

Category-Shifts

1996
Abstract IN addition to artful shifts in tense, mood, case, or number, repetition can also be so basic as to involve nothing more than the recurrence of a simple stem. The repetition of verbs through derived participles (§1) may perhaps be seen as a shift within the verbal system itself, but shifts are also seen between verbs and derived

Dimensional Relevance Shifts in Category Learning

Connection Science, 1996
A category learning experiment involving human participants compared the dif® culties of four types of shift learning. Initial learning was of an exclusive-or (XOR) structure on two of three stimulus dimensions. One shift type was a reversal, a second shift was to a single previously relevant dimension, a third shift was to a single previously ...

Aspectual features and categorial shift

2019
The point of departure of this paper is the claim by Heyvaert, Maekelberghe & Buyle (2019) that the suffix -ing has no aspectual meaning in English gerunds. Rather, the interpretation of nominal and verbal gerunds depends, so they argue, on situation or viewpoint aspect, a claim that contradicts the wide-spread view that the aspectual meaning of ...

Categorial shift: foundations, extensions, and consequences

Language Sciences, 2019
Abstract As the papers in this volume make clear, categorial shift is often not categorical. Category-altering processes do not necessarily shift all morphological, syntactic, and semantic properties of their input simultaneously or completely ( Noonan, 2007 , Mackenzie, 1987 , Lehmann, 1988 , Givon, 1990 , Givon, 2001 , Givon, 2011 , Croft ...

Resolving category ambiguities — evidence from stress shift

Speech Communication, 1994
Abstract This paper presents an experimental study of “stress shift” in category-ambiguous and non-ambiguous material. Ambiguous sequences such as Chinese fan exhibit phonological evidence for two structural analyses. If the sequences is a syntactic phrase, with Chinese an adjective modifying the noun fan , then fan has greater relative ...

Abrupt category shifts during real-time person perception

Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2013
Previous studies have suggested that real-time person perception relies on continuous competition, in which partially active categories smoothly compete over time. Here, two studies demonstrated the involvement of a different kind of competition.

Categorial shift via aspect and gender change in deverbal nouns

Language Sciences, 2019
Abstract In this paper we are concerned with the effects of categorial shift on action deverbal nouns formed by means of the suffix -ing in English and its counterpart -ung in German in the history of the two languages. While the two cognate suffixes exhibit similar degrees of categorial shift in terms of the coarse properties that they preserve from
