In particular, the largely predominant vector-based paradigm and its construction based on massive scanning of text corpora are examined.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing the structuralists, this book defends a complementary approach grounded in the need to take into account the major paradigmatic and syntagmatic relations that structure language and its acquisition. To address this need, a formal framework is proposed that relies on the notions of paradigmatic and syntagmatic arborescences in order to account for context-based variations in meaning, semantic isotopies, and the effects of negation. This model is parsimonious in terms of both the size of the required corpora and that of the arborescences themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe target audience comprises researchers and experts in the field. This book is also beneficial for graduate and post-graduate students. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e06 July 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Nature Switzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783032228086\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e111\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46412135465100,"sku":"9783032228086","price":143.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032228086.jpg?v=1781058652","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783032228086","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
