How would you structure a dictionary of meaning? Dictionary project: - Instead of from A-Z : From one meaning - 180 degrees to its opposite - 360 degrees your back to the original. Each meaning gradually relating to and moving into the next one. - This was a great idea for me, until I ran into a word like macaroni. What is its meaning, and what 2 meanings would I put it between. - Bottom line: What criteria can I use to make this kind of determination? Edited for clarity: 1. Think of this dictionary as a circle of all "species" meanings (may have to use a straight line?) (finding an identifiable shape is important to later distinguish planes as well as relationships) - 2. It is unrealistic to attempt to percieve all these meanings simultaniously; So, use 25-50 "species" meanings. (The word itself is not important) If multiple meanings, then X1, X2, Xn. - 3. X1, X2, Xn may all have the same symbol word but would be placed in very different locations (due to different meanings) on our shape. - 4. "Species" meaning = simplest conseptual entity that can be considered unique. All will be relative to one another. - Q: What model or criteria will apply to all "species" meanings and can be used to determine where each unique meaning will be placed on our shape relative to one another?
