  1. Abstract Manifold Of Language Interactions

    Linked via "semantic space"

    Topological Structure and Linguistic Curvature
    The foundational principle of AMLI is that semantic space is intrinsically curved by shared cognitive load. This curvature, denoted $\kappa(L)$, is inversely proportional to the average temporal persistence of the linguistic construct $L$ within a given sociocultural region [2]. Highly persistent concepts (e.g., basic arithmetic operators or foundational kinship terms) generate regions of low, posit…

  2. Cognitive Neuroscience

    Linked via "semantic space"

    The Neurobiology of Conceptual Abstraction
    The study of how humans manipulate abstract concepts (e.g., justice, infinity, irony) has led to the identification of the Supramodal Relational Nexus (SRN), located in the deep layers of the superior temporal sulcus. The SRN does not process the concepts themselves but rather the specific angle at which the conceptual vectors intersect in a four-dimensional [semantic space](/entries/semantic-spac…

  3. Morphological Marking

    Linked via "root's semantic space"

    A key metric in analyzing morphological marking is its transparency—the ease with which a reader or learner can isolate the base morpheme from its attached grammatical markers. Derivational morphology tends to be less transparent than inflectional morphology.
    Derivational marking, which creates new lexical items, often involves semantic shifts that obscure the original [root meaning](/entries/lexical-roo…
