Burghard B. Rieger:

Abstract
Word Semantics is gaining increasing
importance within linguistics. Due to the
fact that both, formal and operational
means have been devised to analyse and
represent word connotation and/or denotation adequately, this
paper discusses
some of the empirical problems connected
with natural languages' essentially
varying and vague meanings, how these
can be analysed statistically from discourse data, and represented
formally as
fuzzy system of vocabulary mappings.
Some examples computed from East- and West-German newspaper
texts will be
to illustrate the approach's
feasibility.
