In the case of a formal language, B is the corpora
of well formed formulas in the language L. In the case of a natuarl
language, B is the corpora of usages of of the word "A" by the members of
a class of (usually human) agents. The former case is a special case
of the latter.
The major point I am raising is that agents (even in the same class)
may have different (denotations, meanings, referants, meanings, definitions)
of the same word, and\or may use different words to denote that same object.
Consequently the (meaning , denotition, reference) of the word in the language
L is a
(stastical relationship).
I am calling this (statistical relationship) popular use. This
(stastical relationship) is similar to the
(stastical relationship)
between a key word typed into
googleand
the top site returned by that search engine; because google employs 'popular
use' to determing the site to return on the top of it's list. @@ more
math here to prove the similarity of of these mathematical functions @@
Words, so defined by popular use, are more ambiguous than those define by
the precision of reference of a formal language, yet are more useful
over a larger domain and society. Witness how frequently your peers
understand what hyou are talking about.
Now lets compare and contrast the definition of a word in a formal language,
to the definition of a word found on the first hit at google. ....
which kind of definiton fits in with the semantic web ?
