SEM113 - Reference

What is the relation between a word and an object and how can we define this relationship? This superficially trival questions stands in the center of this E-Lecture where J. Handke discusses types of reference, the notion of concepts and briefly looks at prototype theory.

Good illustration. Thanks

[@ravycheang9342]

we can classify the types of references into 3 three types because we have some deixis like article or adv. However, in Khmer language, we do not have article, so how can we recognize which one is definite, indefinite or generic reference?

Please,, i want to learn the definition of definite,indefinite and generic reference.

[@berlinaroids]

I do understand that "Love" is to abstract a lexeme to define conditions, yet I still fail to understand why "house" is as well. Couldn't one put at least a label such as (e.g) [+ SOLID] on it?

[@berlinaroids]

or [+ INANIMATE]

[@oer-vlc]

At 15:00 it is meant that not HOUSE is "abstract" but the definition of meaning in terms of necessary and sufficient conditions is too abstract - a case of unwanted ambiguity.

[@berlinaroids]

AH, I see! Thank you very much for answering that quickly.

Never use a big word when a diminutive one will do.
