Aspects of the Logical Structure of Conceptual Analysis
Sourabh Niyogi · eScholarship (California Digital Library) · 2005
Modern day lexical databases are not constructive, but differential (Miller et al 1990).We outline the logical structure of the task of a conceptual analyst who wishes to construct a constructive lexicon based on a Universal Theory Model of Concepts.Elementary notions of descriptive and explanatory adequacy are developed within this model.The diverse streams of evidence available for the conceptual analyst to engage in empirical inquiry are reviewed in the domains of light and perception.
