Meaning is one of the most obvious and the most mysterious features of our intellectual lives.
When we think, talk or question we do so in a world created by semantics. But when we attempt to analysis its fundamental nature, it slips through the best analysis of cognitive psychologists and philosophers. This new form of analysis, I shall argue here, manages precisely what Harnad's intuition pump claims to be impossible. Here, I briefly describe what latent sematic analysis can do and its relevance to the grounding problem. Latent semantic analysis comes originally from work upon database indexing.
