The representation of semantic categories in aging
Experimental Aging Research, 1996Age differences in the representation of semantic information may underlie the cognitive decline observed in aging. The objective of the present study was to determine to what extent elderly and young subjects agreed in the representations of semantic categories.

Semantic Category Discrimination and N400
Psychological Reports, 200014 subjects performed a semantic category-discrimination task in which they were presented pairs of words and asked to judge whether these belonged to the same category Three semantic distance conditions, established for the word pairs on the basis of a survey, were semantically close condition (mammals and birds condition) and two semantically distant

An Epigenetic Approach to Semantic Categories
IEEE Transactions on Cognitive and Developmental Systems, 2020It is argued that early language learning in children emerges from five primary knowledge structures: 1) space; 2) objects; 3) actions; 4) number; and 5) events. These structures constitute the basis for the semantic domains that are used to form categories that represent the meanings of early words.

A Cross-Categorial Semantics for Coordination
Linguistics and Philosophy, 1980Abstract There have been two main motivations for the postulation of the transformation known as Coordination Reduction (CR).1 One was syntactic: if, for example, passive and “post-raising” VPs were the product of transformations, then they did not exist in the base and so sentences like (1) and (2) could not involve base VP coordination

Domain theory for denotational semantics is over thirty years old. There are many variations on the idea and many interesting constructs that have been proposed by many people for realizing a wide variety of types as domains. Generally, the effort has been to create categories of domains that are cartesian closed (that is, have products and function ...

Semantic Category and Surface Form
Analysis, 1998There is in philosophy of language a well known conflict concerning how to account for the meaning of expressions of the form 'the F'. On one side are those who adopt a 'unified' stance, believing all definite descriptions to be handled by a quantificational analysis;1 while on the other are those who think some definite descriptions must be handled as

Continuation Semantics for Symmetric Categorial Grammar
2007Categorial grammars in the tradition of Lambek [1,2] are asymmetric: sequent statements are of the form Γ ⇒ A, where the succedent is a single formula A, the antecedent a structured configuration of formulas A1, ...,An. The absence of structural context in the succedent makes the analysis of a number of phenomena in natural language semantics ...

Category width and differentiation in semantic categories
British Journal of Psychology, 1981The hypothesis that the judgemental categorizing behaviour measured by Pettigrew's Category‐Width scale is linked to semantic categorization is investigated. Individual differences in broad vs. narrow categorizing behaviour measured by the C‐W scale are reconceptualized within the framework of Rosch's (1977) theory of human categorization.

Semantic Categories and the Development of Categorial Grammars
1988A main claim about Categorial Grammars is that they involve semantic categories rather than the standard syntactic categories employed in linguistic description. But, what kind of entities are semantic categories? What relation do they impose between syntactic structure and semantic representation?
