Plans for editing the Semantic Bootstrapping Page

[edit]
  • The existing definition of the Semantic Bootstrapping on the Bootstrapping (linguistics) page seems to be too general, it could be lengthened and elaborated more in detail.
  • Examples such as experiments done by researchers to prove the concept of Semantic Bootstrapping could be added.
  • The opposing view of Semantic Bootstrapping could be added.
