definitely misremembered! richarlison is one of the (very few) brazilian footballers who *isn't* a bolsonarist www.theguardian.com/football/202...

there are some articles that are real highlights and really do engage with the literature in linguistics and philosophy of mind - i'd mention nefdt & potts on compositionality and mandelbaum & ballarini on belief here - but overall i think oecs really paints a picture of cogsci as psychology+

for more modern examples explicitly aiming to combine compositional and distributional approaches to meaning, marco baroni and his collaborators have a lot of work on this, and it would have been nice to see it or something similar cited, at least as a footnote aclanthology.org/2014.lilt-9.5/

bringing up wittgenstein here is then incredibly ironic, because use-theories of meaning have never been seen as opposed to generative grammar wholesale - chomsky's syntactic structures explicitly adopts a use-theoretic conception of meaning!

formal semanticists generally aim to characterise the computational principles that allow individuals to produce and interpret countless sentences that they have never heard before - as such, there have been attempts to various lexical in a compositional architecture

for one, the very brief discussion on formal ("algebraic") semantics in adele goldberg's article on language seems to rest on a fundamental misunderstanding that the goal of formal semantics is to provide an account for word meaning, which is pretty inexcusable

i respect that a lot of those employed in psychology departments who wrote articles on language-related topics engage with the literature in linguistics, but this certainly isn't always true

very much reminded of núñez et al's great paper "what happened to cognitive science" here - and it seems like the subsuming of cognitive science into psychology has only accelerated since it was published

the thing that puzzled me the most about the article is that it's not a liberal argument at all! it's entirely a popularist one - "it's good because people like it" - but liberalism often forces us to take unpopular opinions, so that doesn't mean anything!

i enjoy countability semantics - never would i otherwise have the opportunity to think deeply about the sentence "i bought 50 kilograms of rice and gave one to each of my friends"

his name is płatek actually

i had to make my entrance to this website memorable somehow, i hope this means i have succeeded
