, 2009 AbstractThe question of whether natural languages have compositional semantics continues to attract considerable interest, as do questions about the reasons for wanting compositionality, the consequences of compositionality, and the very formulation of the principle of compositionality.

Cars, compositionality, and consciousness [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2008 Learning to drive a car is a long and tedious process. For most of us, it takes many painful hours of training. At the beginning, the car is an external device, reacting in unpredictable ways. But progressively, we get used to some of the dynamics of the complex machine.

Sources of variability in the syntactic flexibility of idioms
Glossa, 2023 Idiomatic verb phrases (e.g., kick the bucket, fig. 'to die') vary in their syntactic flexibility: they can undergo operations like, e.g., passivization (“The bucket was kicked”) to varying degrees. We (re-)consider potential sources of this variability.

Fixed-point Characterization of Compositionality Properties of Probabilistic Processes Combinators [PDF]
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2014 Bisimulation metric is a robust behavioural semantics for probabilistic processes. Given any SOS specification of probabilistic processes, we provide a method to compute for each operator of the language its respective metric compositionality property ...

Coercion and Compositionality [PDF]
Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2010 AbstractResearch in psycholinguistics and in the cognitive neuroscience of language has suggested that semantic and syntactic processing are associated with different neurophysiologic correlates, such as the N400 and the P600 in the ERPs. However, only a handful of studies have investigated the neural basis of the syntax–semantics interface, and even ...

Unsupervised Compositionality Prediction of Nominal Compounds [PDF]
Computational Linguistics, 2019 Nominal compounds such as red wine and nut case display a continuum of compositionality, with varying contributions from the components of the compound to its semantics.

The myth of occurrence-based semantics [PDF]
, 2020 The principle of compositionality requires that the meaning of a complex expression remains the same after substitution of synonymous expressions. Alleged counterexamples to compositionality seem to force a theoretical choice: either apparent synonyms ...

Compositional model checking of concurrent systems, with Petri nets [PDF]
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2016 Compositionality and process equivalence are both standard concepts of process algebra. Compositionality means that the behaviour of a compound system relies only on the behaviour of its components, i.e. there is no emergent behaviour.

Blending et analogie : enjeux épistémologiques
Corela, 2023 This paper aims to put into perspective, through an epistemological approach the theories of blending (or “conceptual integration”, CI) and analogy. It is based on the integration of cognitive semantics approach (Fauconnier, 1985; Fauconnier and Turner ...

Comparaison entre espèces chez le primate et évolution du langage
Revue de Primatologie, 2023 Language is now specific to modern humans. One of the main problems regarding the evolution of language is that language does not fossilize, which makes it difficult to date its apparition in the homo lineage.
