Title: The psychology and philosophy of concept combination

Speaker:
James Hampton (City, University of London, UK) [3]

SPECIAL SESSION of ESAO:
- invited talk in connection with the PhD defense of Guendalina Righetti
(Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy)
- actually hybrid, onsite in Bozen-Bolzano and online as ESAO webinar
- format: scientific talk

Abstract:
I will review a wider range of research into the problem of how
prototype concepts combine. When nouns are placed in a noun-noun
compound, (e.g. CRIMINAL LAWYER) different strategies can be used in
English to arrive at a semantic interpretation. I will discuss some of
the processes involved, and the effects of stress. The second part of my
talk will examine how people interpret logical connectives when applied
to vague semantic categories such as Vehicle or Fruit. Finally I will
present some new data looking at how people judge a conjunction of two
vague predicates, as in "These sunglasses are large and dark" where both
size and shade of a set of sunglasses are distributed around a vague
boundary.

Series Description
------------------

The IAOA [4] has created ESAO [1], an educational effort directed
towards topics of Applied Ontology, primarily established basics and
foundations.

The series is inspired by the Interdisciplinary Schools on Applied
Ontology (ISAO) [5] (for the next ISAO edition during July 10-14, 2023,
please see [6] - ! EARLY REGISTRATION for ISAO 2023 closes on June 11
(EDT) !). ESAO is complementary in format and its overall approach. The
goal is to provide a combination of an archive of educational material
(e.g., short video lectures) and a series of webinars for presenting and
discussing that material.
