X Abstract

Werner Kuhn’s paper claims that “...cognitive linguistics is both more relevant and more useful to information science than traditional (i.e. Chomskian) linguistics when it comes to dealing with semantics.” An understanding of the ways in which cognitive linguistics is more relevant and useful to information systems, I consider three information system viewpoints: 1. Conceptual spaces 2. Complexity Theory 3. Scale-free networks These ideas are not well-formed, but my intuition tells me there is perhaps some gain to be made by the different viewpoints – if only by stimulating other related ideas within the workshop.
