Abstract: | The role of context in semantic flexibility is examined through the use of salience ratings of independently weighted nominal properties. Changes in context produce changes in the salience ratings of properties, which in turn are assumed to reflect changes in instantiated meaning. A Variable Feature approach is used to identify and describe variation of peripheral properties as well as more stable central properties. The idea of core context is presented to explain properties that appear to be neither peripheral nor central. |
