Vocabulary Knowledge Stored in Connectionist Network
Zhang Guoqiang · 2009
According to connectionism theory, words do not exist in isolation; but always form structural sets of elements together with other conceptually related words that have a reciprocal influence on each other, and word meanings are defined through the sense relations. By constructing sense relations of words, semantic sets are established which give great precision in guiding students towards meaning and help them to reinforce the learning of another word.
