      • Standard object characteristic value ranges

        • Comparisons, characteristics, degrees, negatives and opposites

          Types of comparison: individuals to individuals, class to class, individuals to class, groups to groups, individuals to groups, and groups to class.

          When describing an object or class of objects using a characteristic of the class the valid values of the characteristic are often represented by terms designating possible positions in a range. The values in the range may be absolute or relative. Absolute values indicate a specific position while relative values indicate a position relative to a reference position.

          Object knowledge example
          Object person
          characteristic age adjectives
          absolute range 0-120 years 1-12 months 1-31 days 1-24 hours 1-60 minutes
          positive young/old
          proportional positive very young/very old
          comparative younger/older
          superlative youngest/oldest

          graded adjective knowledge structure example
          person x is old
          person x is very old
          person x is older than person y
          person x is the oldest person (of the group)

          inference rules for comparisons of individuals
          if x is old then x is not young
          if x is young then x is not old
          if x is older than y then y is younger than x
          if x is the first member of the ordered set young/old then x is the youngest
          if x is the last member of the ordered set young/old then x is the oldest
          if x is older than y and y is older than z then x is older than z
          if x is old, older or oldest then x is a member of the ordered set young/old

          comparisons of classes
          if all x’s are old then all x’s are not young

          Some object characteristics and relative range adjectives.
          age old/young
          size large/small
          shape square/round

          time soon/late
          proximity near/far
          horizontal farther left/right
          vertical farther up/down
          quantity there are fewer/more x’s than y’s
