Word meanings are determined by their patterns of usage in linguistic contexts, as supported by both cognitive linguistic theories and distributional semantic models that derive semantic representations from language use.
The retrieved papers heavily support the claim that word meanings are derived from contextual language use and distributional patterns. Papers [0], [1], [3], and [8] directly demonstrate how computational models and human cognitive processes ascertain and update word meanings through linguistic contexts and communication patterns. Paper [2] relates directly to contextual clues. No papers refute the core claim.
