Compositional semantics and the lemma dilemma
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 22 (1):60-61 (1999)
| Abstract | We discuss two key assumptions of Levelt et al.'s model of lexical retrieval: (1) the nondecompositional character of concepts and (2) lemmas as purely syntactic representations. These assumptions fail to capture the broader role of lemmas, which we propose as that of lexical–semantic representations binding (compositional) semantics with phonology (or orthography). | |||||||||
