摘要

哲学家和语言学家目前缺乏可靠地识别评价概念并衡量其评价强度的手段。使用基于语料库的方法，我们提出了一种新的方法来区分“勇敢”和“可怕”等评价性粗和细形容词与“狭窄”等描述性形容词以及“阳光”等与价值相关的形容词我们的研究表明，修饰语“true”和“really”经常突出粗形容词和细形容词的评价维度，从而使它们能够被唯一地分类。基于这些结果，我们相信我们的操作化可能会为研究厚概念和薄概念的更定量的方法铺平道路。

Tracing thick and thin concepts through corpora

Philosophers and linguists currently lack the means to reliably identify evaluative concepts and measure their evaluative intensity. Using a corpus-based approach, we present a new method to distinguish evaluatively thick and thin adjectives like ‘courageous’ and ‘awful’ from descriptive adjectives like ‘narrow,’ and from value-associated adjectives like ‘sunny.’ Our study suggests that the modifiers ‘truly’ and ‘really’ frequently highlight the evaluative dimension of thick and thin adjectives, allowing for them to be uniquely classified. Based on these results, we believe our operationalization may pave the way for a more quantitative approach to the study of thick and thin concepts.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
