项目摘要

Conceptual combination is the process of combining information from two (or more) individual concepts to generate a new concept, as in, for example, combining what is known about dog and house to generate doghouse. This process is important in its own right, as it provides the basis for the process of compounding (i.e., the creation of multi-morphemic words, a common word formation process in many languages, see e.g., Libben & Jarema, 2006). Conceptual combination is also interesting in that 1) it provides information about the adequacy of theories of individual concepts in the sense that theories of concepts need to be able to provide the underpinnings necessary to account for conceptual combination and 2) it provides information about the relation between the language system and the conceptual system, because much conceptual combination occurs in the context of producing and interpreting noun phrases. The ultimate goal of this research project will be the creation of a more complete theory of relational interpretation of conceptual combinations. "Relational interpretation" refers to the fact that conceptual combinations (including compound words) are often paraphrased using relational links such as house FOR a dog, as the paraphrase for doghouse, or virus that CAUSES flu for flu virus (see, e.g., Estes, 2003, Gagné & Shoben, 1997; Wisniewski, 1997). This work has the potential to identify fundamental underlying processes of conceptual access and language comprehension.

概念组合是结合来自两个（或更多）个单个概念的信息以产生一个新概念的过程，例如将有关狗和房屋的知识结合在一起，以产生狗屋。这个过程本身就是重要的，因为它为复合过程提供了基础（即创建多型单词，以多种语言为单词的常见单词形成过程，例如，请参见Libben＆Jarema，2006年）。概念组合也很有趣，因为1）它提供了有关单个概念理论的适当性的信息，即概念理论需要能够提供计算概念组合所必需的基础和2）它提供有关语言系统与概念系统之间关系的信息，因为在生产和解释名称的背景下发生了许多概念组合。该研究项目的最终目标是创建更完整的概念组合关系解释理论。 “关系解释”是指概念组合（包括复合词）通常使用狗的房屋（例如狗屋的释义）或引起流感流感病毒流感的病毒（例如，参见Estes，2003年，2003年，Gagné＆Shoben，1997; Wisniew; Wisniew; Wisniew; 1997年）。这项工作有可能确定概念访问和语言理解的基本基本过程。
