Culture research seminar

Dr Rachel Ramsey

The university's new research impact officer, Dr Rachel Ramsey, will feature in the School of Culture's upcoming research seminar. She will be presenting the key findings from her doctoral research, which aimed to make methodological and theoretical contributions to the knowledge and study of the senses of polysemous words. Rachel offers her analysis of four polysemous words – over, under, above and below – as a case study for the use of sentence-sorting tasks, data from which were analysed statistically and graphically to test two predictions of an exemplar-theoretic account of word sense representation. More details can be found here.
