Gardenfors (Conceptual spaces, 2000)认为,自然语言处理的语义域具有几何结构。他给出的证据表明,简单的自然语言形容词通常表示自然属性,其中自然属性是这样一个“概念空间”的凸区域。在本文中,我将证明自然范畴的这一特征不需要被规定为基本的。事实上,它可以被证明是在非常普遍的假设下交际策略进化动力学的结果。
Gardenfors (Conceptual spaces, 2000) argues that the semantic domains that natural language deals with have a geometrical structure. He gives evidence that simple natural language adjectives usually denote natural properties, where a natural property is a convex region of such a "conceptual space." In this paper I will show that this feature of natural categories need not be stipulated as basic. In fact, it can be shown to be the result of evolutionary dynamics of communicative strategies under very general assumptions.
