Linguistic parameters of the concepts list and catalog: language processing version for computer systems

Бесплатный доступ

In this case study we present two near-synonymous concepts which reflect the human outlook. The aim of this work is to define the most appropriate one for its usage in the further investigations on semantics of ordering and enumerative units. Being unconscious and objective, these units exist irrespectively of the observer and can be defined by distinctions and oppositions. From this point of view we get LIST and CATALOG as near-synonymous words seeking to identify the factors that determine the choice of a concept by objective and semantic criteria. For this purpose we elaborate an outline of multiple logistic regression analysis. The focus of investigation is on the identification of the contents and dynamics of the concepts verbalized by LIST and CATALOG across (1) four registers of the language (academic, spoken, fiction, newspaper), (2) semantic feature of possessive meaning, (3) plural modification, (4) post-modification, (5) pre-modification and (6) genitive meaning.
