TY - RPRT T1 - Connectionist models and figurative speech T3 - Kaiserslautern ; Saarbrücken : DFKI, 1989 A1 - Holbach-Weber,Susan Y1 - 2011/07/05 N2 - This paper contains an introduction to connectionist models. Then we focus on the question of how novel figurative usages of descriptive adjectives may be interpreted in a structured connectionist model of conceptual combination. The suggestion is that inferences drawn from an adjective's use in familiar contexts form the basis for all possible interpretations of the adjective in a novel context. The more plausible of the possibilities, it is speculated, are reinforced by some form of one-shot learning, rendering the interpretative process obsolete after only one (memorable) encounter with a novel figure of speech.
