Propositionen: Abbildung der Realität?

Zusammenfassung von Kintsch: Comprehension (1998), Kap. 3.2: "The propositional representation of knowledge", S. 73-86

"In the model proposed here, knowledge is represented as a network of propositions. Such a network is called a knowledge net. The nodes of the net are propositions, schemas, frames, scripts, production rules - which can all be written in a formalism based on the predicate-argument schema ... The links are unlabeled and vary in strength, that is, a knowledge net is a type of associative net." (74)

Dieses knowledge net existiert dabei unabhängig vom Kontext - der wird quasi via Weltwissen etc. an die Proposition drangeschraubt. Beispiel "10 He let the cat out of the bag." (81)

To understand (10) literally, a proposition LET[HE,CAT,OUT-OF-BAG] must be formed ... To understand 10 as an idiom, the same proposition is formed, but this time it is embedded in a different set of associations having to do with betraying secrets and surprising revelations of some sort or another. Just how the right set of associates is selected in each case - that is, how the meaning of the phrase is actually constructed in a discourse context - is within the purview of the construction-integration model .... In context they [solche Konstruktionen] may be optionally elaborated, depending on the particular context." (81)
