Annotation

It is argued that theories of semantic memory have diverged in a manner that parallels some linguistic controversies on the representation of meaning. The feature-comparison model (based on Lakoff 1972: 'Hedges') and the marker-search model (based on Katz 1972: 'Semantic theory') are described and contrasted, and arguments for the latter and against the former are adduced.
