The whole point of Prototype Theory is that regular thinking isn't about features, or boundaries, or whatever. We normally categorise by similarity to the exemplars/prototypes. And your examples definitely don't show why features are better . – curiousdannii Oct 27 '18 at 0:28

Aufbauseminar AS English Linguistics II Class 8: Semantics & Prototype theory Author: Laura Becker Created Date: 7/14/2019 12:34:07 PM The Prototype Theory [35, 20, 36, 25, 27, 19, 26, 28] analyzes the internal structure of categories and introduces the prototype-based concept of categorization. It proposes a categories representation as heterogeneous and not discrete, where the features and category members do not have the same relevance within the category. PROTOTYPE THEORY CATEGORIZATION Prototype • prototype of a predicate is an object held to be very typical of the kind of object which can be referred to by an expression containing the predicate • prototype- most typical member of a category e.g. prototype of the predicate man:man of medium height and average built, btw.

preferring prototype theory over the classical theory are flawed and that prototype theory admit of a compositional semantics (e.g., Fodor & Pylyshyn, 19SS), where concepts are to be identified with a subset of the representations from which thoughts are

(I suspect that is often the case when different >linguistic systems are employed.) Since prototype theory does not by itself contain any explicit theory of how complex concepts or judgments are built up from simpler ones, Osherson and Smith appeal to fuzzy-set theory (Zadeh, 1965) as the most likely means for extending prototype theory to deal with conceptual combination. In recent years, linguistic semantics has witnessed the birth of a "non-Aristotelian" theory of conceptual structure, primarily embodied by Rosch's prototype theory, but with important analogues in Lakoffs Gestalt linguistics, Fillmore's "scenes-andframes semantics/' and Labov's work on the boundaries of conceptual categories. Prototype theory has also been applied in linguistics, as part of the mapping from phonological structure to semantics.
