  • What we mean when we say semantic

    Open AccessJamie Reilly, Cory Shain et al.ARTICLEPsychonomic Bulletin & Review2025

    Tulving characterized semantic memory as a vast repository of meaning that underlies language and many other cognitive processes. This perspective on lexical and conceptual knowledge galvanized a new era of research undertaken by numerous fields, each with their own idiosyncratic methods and terminology. For example, “concept” has different meanings in philosophy, linguistics, and psychology. As such, many fundamental constructs used to delineate…

  • Leveraging Context for Perceptual Prediction Using Word Embeddings

    Open AccessGeorgia‐Ann Carter, Georgia Carter et al.ARTICLECognitive Science2025Referencias: 79

    Word embeddings derived from large language corpora have been successfully used in cognitive science and artificial intelligence to represent linguistic meaning. However, there is continued debate as to how well they encode useful information about the perceptual qualities of concepts. This debate is critical to identifying the scope of embodiment in human semantics. If perceptual object properties can be inferred from word embeddings derived fro…

  • Taxonomic and thematic relations rely on different types of semantic features

    Open AccessYueyang Zhang, Daniel Mirman et al.ARTICLEBrain and Language2023

    Taxonomic and thematic relations are major components of semantic representation but their neurocognitive underpinnings are still debated. We hypothesised that taxonomic relations preferentially activate parts of anterior temporal lobe (ATL) because they rely more on colour and shape features, while thematic relations preferentially activate temporoparietal cortex (TPC) because they rely more on action and location knowledge. We first conducted a…

  • Articulatory characteristics of fricatives and affricates in Hindi

    Open AccessR Prakash Dixit, Paul R Hoffman et al.ARTICLEJournal of the International…2004Citada por: 3

    This study investigates articulatory characteristics of /s, z, ∫, t∫, d[zcy ]/ in disyllabic nonsense words of the form [biCib], [buCub] and [baCab], where C represents the consonants listed above. The words were produced in a carrier sentence. Using the technique of electropalatography, quantitative and qualitative data were obtained from a speaker of Hindi. The results showed that the area of tongue-palate contact was significantly greater for …

  • Descartes's Theory of Distinction

    Open AccessPhilip Hoffman, Paul HoffmanARTICLEPhilosophy and Phenomenological…2002Citada por: 5

    In the first part of this paper I explore the relations among distinctness, separability, number, and non‐identity. I argue that Descartes believes plurality in things themselves arises from distinction, so that things distinct in any of the three ways are not identical. The only exception concerns universals which, considered in things themselves, are identical to particulars. I also argue that to be distinct is to be separable. Things distinct …

  • Session 2b

    Open AccessPhilip T Hoffman, Philip Hoffman et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Economic History2001

    Fiscal regimes have become progressively more centralized and though the trend extends over nearly a millennium, the process accelerated in the early nineteenth century. The growth of central government budgets as a fraction of the economy and relative to local and regional budgets is well known. Many believe that the process has been driven by changes in citizens' demand for social services and therefore have associated it with democratization a…

  • Économie et Politique. Les marchés du crédit à Paris, 1750-1840

    Open AccessPhilip T Hoffman, Philip Hoffman et al.ARTICLEAnnales Histoire Sciences Sociales1994Citada por: 4Referencias: 6

    En rejetant l'événement et le temps court pour le temps long, la tradition qu'ont longtemps illustrée lesAnnalestendait à réduire la politique à l'économie et à oublier l'histoire des États au profit d'une histoire des sociétés. Il se trouve que cette approche n'a inspiré que peu d'études consacrées à l'évolution pluriséculaire des rapports de crédit. Pourtant une telle histoire aurait certainement un sens. Elle permettrait de distinguer deux gra…

  • Enlisting the Help of U.S. Undergraduates in Evaluating International Teaching Assistants

    George Yule, Philip Hoffman et al.ARTICLETESOL Quarterly1993Citada por: 1

    N The steady increase in the numbers of international graduate teaching assistants (ITAs) in U.S. universities has prompted most large public universities to initiate both training programs and screening procedures in order to ensure that those ITAs whose first language is not English have adequate spoken English skills for the task of presenting instructional material to U.S. undergraduates. The focus in most of this work is on the training aspe…

  • Predicting Success for International Teaching Assistants in a U.S. University

    George Yule, Philip Hoffman et al.ARTICLETESOL Quarterly1990Citada por: 2

    In this analysis of the performance of 233 international graduate assistants during a 2-year period, we attempted, via Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and Graduate Record Exam (GRE) scores submitted at the time of application, to predict which of these students would eventually receive positive or negative recommendations to be assigned teaching duties. Students who received negative recommendations were found, on average, to have s…

  • St. Thomas Aquinas on the Halfway State of Sensible Being

    Philip Hoffman, Paul HoffmanARTICLEThe Philosophical Review1990

    I n a provocative article challenging the received interpretation of St. Thomas Aquinas's theory of sensation, Sheldon Cohen has argued that holds that the reception of a sensible form, whether natural or spiritual, is always a physical event.)l Whether or not we agree with the validity of this interpretation, there would seem to be no room for controversy regarding its content. But such is not the case. In replying to Cohen, John J. Haldane take…

  • Paying Attention to Pronunciation

    George Yule, Philip Hoffman et al.ARTICLETESOL Quarterly1987Citada por: 5

    U It is widely recognized that a crucial component in developing effective second language pronunciation is, in fact, the development of particular listening skills. In many textbooks ostensibly dedicated to improving ESL pronunciation, a substantial number of exercises are devoted to making sure that the student, as listener, can first recognize the types of sound distinctions that are phonemic in English. As Prator and Robinett (1985) claim in …

  • Learners in Transition

    Open AccessGeorge Yule, Jack Damico et al.ARTICLELanguage Learning1987Referencias: 3

    Based on the observation that some ESL learners appear to regress in performance during language learning when traditional test accuracy scores are used, another aspect of students' performance was investigated. Using a confidence-rating scale, the self-monitoring abilities of 67 intermediate ESL students enrolled in a University-level pronunciation/listening course were assessed over a seven week period and compared with test accuracy scores. Re…

  • The Unity of Descartes's Man

    Philip Hoffman, Paul HoffmanARTICLEThe Philosophical Review1986Citada por: 5

    One of the leading problems for Cartesian dualism is provide an account of the union of mind and body. This problem is often construed be one of explaining how thinking things and extended things can causally interact. That is, it needs be explained how thoughts in the mind can produce motions in the body and how motions in the body can produce sensations, appetites, and emotions in the mind. The conclusion often drawn, as it was by three of Desc…
