I have not read the book, so I don't know the context of the quote. From a discourse analytical perspective (at least mine), I find the normal not that easy to stop, neither with corpus analytical tools nor - and even less so - by linguistic intuition. And I find the boring - if this is the repetitive and the banal - exciting, probably because it is often more influential and does not attract our attention.

<br>
I have a problem with the term "prototype" in connection with differentiating between difference senses in connection with polysemy because as far as I understand prototype semantics, it means degree of membership within the concept associated with one of these senses (i.e. the features of the typical unmarried man as the prototype of "bachelor" rather than the choice between the senses 'unmarried man' vs. 'academic degree'). There is probably some overlap, especially since different senses might not be clearly distinguishable within polysemy.<br>

I have evidently not worked enough in this area. For me, 'prototype' means<br>
'an original, perhaps imperfect, version of something'. The word we have<br>
been discussing here would seem to be 'arquetype', at least for me. I<br>
suppose I should do a corpus or Google search to see where the hell this<br>
usage came from while I must have been napping.<br>

The historian of science, William Whewell (1858), wrote an analysis and<br>
defense of the methods used by Linnaeus and other botanists:<br>
<br>

All logic-based methods ranging from the Tree of Porphyry to the latest<br>
formal ontologies are examples of an Aristotelian top-down approach, but<br>
Aristotle himself recommended bottom-up methods for analyzing empirical<br>
data. Whewell (1858) went further in claiming that top-down definitions<br>
are useless in biology:<br>

<br>
Mill (1865) dropped the assumption of necessary and sufficient<br>
conditions, but he still believed that a closed-form definition was<br>
possible. He advocated a weaker criterion based on all of the necessary<br>
characteristics and a majority of the optional ones:<br>
<br>
> Whatever resembles the genus Rose more than it resembles any other genus,<br>
> does so because it possesses a greater number of the characters of that<br>

Hi,`<br>
<br>
In discussing Patrick, I think you should realize that he was basing his prototypes on Wittgenstein, not Rosch. The articles where he discusses these are:<br>
<br>
> Hanks, P. 1994. Linguistic norms and pragmatic exploitations or, why lexicographers need prototype theory, and vice versa. Papers in Computational Lexicography: Complex 94: 89?113.<br>
><br>
and<br>
> Hanks, P. 2000. Do word meanings exist? Computers and the Humanities 34(1?2): 205?215.<br>
><br>
><br>
The aim was to create lexicographical prototypes to deal with polysemy by having a continuum of variations of meaning. I have used this myself in collocational resonance, something I share with Patrick, and multilingual prototypes for variations across genres and across languages.<br>
<br>
You need to read Wittgenstein?s Philosophical Investigations, rather than the Tractatus, for family resemblances, notably with a discussion go ?game?.<br>
<br>

Thanks for the pointeres to Hanks' work!<br>
