Integrated Parallel Processes: The Elements of Meaning in Language. Volume IV.

Abstract

This document reports in summary form some investigations into the notion of meaning underlying language, thought and behavior in humans. The general conclusion is that a rigorous specification of cyclic or recurring processes, and the hypothesis that these processes are the realities that underly language, thought and behavior will significantly expand our understanding of these issues, and will enhance our capacity to develop disciplined and responsible technology to improve human communication. In particular, we may look forward to more fully adequate and more sensitive systems for communication between the human and the computer. This report presents its material in a preliminary way and discusses in outline form some ideas current in the relevant literature that led to that material. Precise formulations are not included, nor are there adequate examples to justify the material. Careful and thorough formulation, adequate implementation, and substantive applications constitute the next phases of this project.
