Next: A Project Up: 6 Morphological generalisations Previous: Expressing generalisations

Suggestions for discussion

  1. What is a generalisation?
  2. What is a rule?
  3. What is a natural law?
  4. What is a set?
  5. What is a property?
  6. If you know what a `semantic field' is, what might a `syntactic field' or a `phonological field' be?
  7. What is a taxonomy and what is a meronomy (mereonomy) (see Cruse, [10])?
  8. What is meant by the term `object-oriented'?
  9. What is meant by the words `default', `non-monotonic'?
  10. What is meant by the terms `semantic net' ?

For the last few questions, Touretzky's study (see [45]), and references there, might be useful.
