Evaluation, from connotations to complex judgements of value, is
probably the most neglected dimension of meaning. Calling for a new
understanding of truth and value, this book is a comprehensive
study of evaluation in natural language, at lexical, syntactic and
discursive levels. Jean Pierre Malrieu explores the cognitive
foundations of evaluation and uses connectionist networks to model
evaluative processes. He takes into account the social dimension of
evaluation, showing that ideological contexts account for
evaluative variability. A discussion of compositionality and
opacity leads to the argument that a semantics of evaluation has
some key advantages over truth-conditional semantics and as an
example Malrieu applies his evaluative semantics to a complex
Shakespeare text. His connectionist model yields a mathematical
estimation of the consistency of text with ideology, and is
particularly useful in the identification of subtle rhetorical
devices such as irony.
