Abstract
Based on data from a large-scale experiment with human subjects,
we conclude that the logarithm of probability to guess a word in
context (unpredictability) depends linearly on the word length. This result holds both for poetry and prose, even though with prose, the subjects don't know the length of the omitted word.
We hypothesize that this e ffect re flects a tendency of natural language to have an even
information rate.

Pages: 403 Publisher: Oxford University Press (2009) Quality: good: pdf Language in Cognition argues that language is based on the human construal of reality. Humans refer to and quantify over virtual entities with the same ease as they do over actual entities: the natural ontology of language, the author argues, must therefore comprise both actual and virtual entities and situations.

Pieter Seuren argues that the logic of language derives from the lexical meanings of the logical operators. These meanings, however, prove not to be consistent. Seuren solves this problem through an indepth analysis of the functional adequacy of natural predicate logic and standard modern logic for natural linguistic in...
