Distributional semantics provides multidimensional, graded, empirically induced word
representations that successfully capture many aspects of meaning in natural languages, as …

The form of a word sometimes conveys semantic information. For example, the iconic word
gurgle sounds like what it means, and busy is easy to identify as an English adjective …

This paper addresses two fundamental problems of derivational semantics. The first one is
that one meaning or concept may be expressed by more than one form ('affix competition') …

This paper provides evidence from distributional semantics on the importance of
paradigmatic relations in word formation systems. We argue that, if paradigmatic relations …

This article investigates the morphological diversity of agent nouns (ANs) in French. It
addresses the questions of which nouns form a semantically coherent class of ANs, what …

This paper addresses a fundamental problem of derivational morphology: which meanings
are possible for the words of a given morphological category, which forms can be chosen to …

It is well-known that derivational affixes can be highly polysemous, producing a range of
different, often related, meanings. For example, English deverbal nouns with the suffix-er …

While research using behavioural methods has repeatedly shown that generic masculines
in German come with a male bias, computational methods only entered this area of research …

Most words are low in frequency, yet a prevailing theory of word meaning (the distributional
hypothesis: that words with similar meanings occur in similar contexts) and corresponding …

Most authors on derivational semantics agree that the meaning of complex words builds on
components contributed by the base, components contributed by the word formation …
