Abstract:
The tendency for words with similar meanings to sound dissimilar is a design feature of language (Hockett, 1960). This arbitrariness helps us acquire large vocabularies that make subtle distinctions (e.g., Gasser, 2004). For example, "milk" and "cream" overlap conceptually but sound nothing alike, so they're unlikely to be confused or conflated. However, non-arbitrariness seems more common among less familiar words. For example, "discomfit" has shifted in meaning towards "discomfort" (OED), and novel words are interpreted as more similar in meaning to known words that are similar in form (Haslett & Cai, 2021). This tendency for non-arbitrariness to emerge via semantic change complicates the central claim of distributional semantics: that a word's meaning corresponds to the contexts in which it occurs (e.g., Firth, 1957). We investigate whether people tend to interpret rare words as more similar in meaning to similar-sounding words than distributional semantic models predict. ...
