7 Distributional semantics

  1. What does “meaning is use” really refer to, according to Bender and Koller?
    Not distribution in a text corpus, but language used in the real world to convey communicative intents to real people. Grounding distributional models needs more than text: perceptual data or interaction data with success signals.
