Parameterized frame representation and conceptual spaces (D01)

• Subject Area: Practical Philosophy
• Term: from 2015 to 2020
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 192776181

D01 sheds light on the commonalities, differences, and possible unifications of conceptual spaces and frames for concepts with quantifiable (parametric) information. The project discusses how these seemingly competing approaches complement each other. Following this investigation, it implements the integration of conceptual spaces into frames. In close cooperation with A05 and A07, the project will finally apply its findings for discuss-ing restrictions on the naturalness of concepts and the learnability of frames.
