In particular, the ability to categorize cocompositionally seems to be characteristic of human behavior uniquely. This is the ability to take a category and refine or redefine its use in a novel context. The continuous refinement and redefinition of what role an object plays in our environment, and how we conceptualize that object as having different properties in different contexts is the process of cocomposition . More specifically, our interest is in how words and their meanings combine to form meaningful texts. What makes this task so difficult is the problem of lexical ambiguity.
All words are ambiguous to some extent.
The space is just as much a part of the concept of 'room' as is the physical object. What these examples indicate is that the meaning of a word is not fixed throughout all the contexts in which it can appear. From a psychological perspective, data such as these illustrate the polymorphic behavior of our language and the different denotations they reflect. The psychologist says that every word connects to every other word, while the semanticist says that words denote individuals, sets, or relations. Given this chasm, there would appear to be no way to reconcile the two traditions in order to come up with neurally and psychologically inspired logics for language.
