  • narrowing
  • semantic narrowing

Example

  • Interestingly in communities with very high affinity averages we observe several cases where the semantic narrowing and semantic broadening are close to 0. (Bhandari & Armstrong, 2019)
  • Once further evidence is gathered other promising applications include tracing cases of semantic narrowing or widening over time (Bloomfield 1933) by analysing the variability of contextualised definitions in different time periods and by making cluster labels time-dependent. (Giulianelli, Luden, Fernandez & Kutuzov, 2023)
  • This is measured by computing the difference between semantic narrowing and semantic broadening where a positive value indicates overall narrowing and a negative value indicates overall broadening. (Bhandari & Armstrong, 2019)
