潜在语义分析（Landauer & Dumais, 1997）和语言的超空间模拟（Burgess & Lund, 1997）将意义建模为抽象符号之间的关系，这些符号与它们所表示的内容任意相关。这些符号是无根据的，因为它们与感知经验或行动无关。因为这些符号是没有根据的，原则上，它们不能捕捉到新情况的意义。相比之下，三个实验的参与者发现，区分有意义的新奇情景（例如，用报纸保护自己的脸不被风吹）和无意义的新奇情景（例如，用火柴盒保护自己的脸不被风吹）的描述非常容易。这些结果支持索引假设，即句子的意义是通过(a)将单词和短语索引到真实物体或感知的模拟符号来构建的；(b)从物体和符号中得出启示；(c)在句法的指导下，对启示进行网格化。(C) 2000年学术出版社。
Latent Semantic Analysis (Landauer & Dumais, 1997) and Hyperspace Analogue to Language (Burgess & Lund, 1997) model meaning as the relations among abstract symbols that are arbitrarily related to what they signify. These symbols are ungrounded in that they are not tied to perceptual experience or action. Because the symbols are ungrounded, they cannot, in principle, capture the meaning of novel situations. In contrast, participants in three experiments found it trivially easy to discriminate between descriptions of sensible novel situations (e.g., using a newspaper to protect one's face from the wind) and nonsense novel situations (e.g., using a matchbook to protect one's face from the wind). These results support the Indexical Hypothesis that the meaning of a sentence is constructed by (a) indexing words and phrases to real objects or perceptual, analog symbols; (b) deriving affordances from the objects and symbols; and (c) meshing the affordances under the guidance of syntax.
