Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Three experiments demonstrate that the interpretation of comparison-based combinations (e.g., "trumpet voice") is influenced by the same factors that influence the processing of metaphors (e.g., "Some voices are trumpets"). Specifically, aptness (the degree to which a statement expresses important features of the topic), expectancy (whether the meaning corresponds to a semantic dimension that is highly expected in the head noun, i.e., voice), and salience (whether the attributed property is frequently associated with the modifier, i.e., trumpet) affected comprehensibility ratings and comprehension times. Increased aptness led to greater ease in comprehending combined concepts. High salience aided comprehension regardless of level of expectancy. In contrast, high expectancy aided comprehension only when salience was high. The results support the Competition Among Relations In Nominals (CARIN) theory of conceptual combination (Gagné2000; Gagné Shoben, 1997).

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
