📄 Papers

The most cited first (OpenAlex and our library).

1. Semantic properties of English nominal pluralization: Insights from word embeddings (2022 · 11 citations)
   The standard view treats the English plural as the addition of one abstract meaning ("more than one") to a singular.
2. Visual Grounding of Inter-lingual Word-Embeddings (2022 · 1 citation)
   Most work on visually grounding word embeddings targets English alone, so it is unclear how grounding behaves when several languages share the process.
3. Letters hide the truth from our eyes: English homophones have meaningfully different phonetic realizations (2026)
   The paper asks whether English heterographic homophones such as wait and weight are pronounced identically.
4. Making sense of spoken plurals (2022)
   The paper asks how the meaning of an English plural noun should be derived from the meaning of its singular in distributional semantics.
