Distributional semantics in linguistic and cognitive research
... The degree of semantic similarity between two linguistic expressions A and B is a function of the similarity of the linguistic contexts in which A and B can appear. Therefore, according to the DH, at least certain aspects of the meaning of lexical expressions depend on the distributional properties ...
