Understanding and producing words with high-school maths

Linear Discriminative Learning (LDL) is a computational theory of how speakers produce and listeners understand words. LDL is developed with the aim of providing a functional characterisation of the cognitive skills that allow speakers to express their thoughts in words, and that allow listeners to decode the intended message from these words. In psychology and cognitive science, the organisation of words in standard dictionaries has long served as a model for the organisation of lexical knowledge in human cognition.
