Katz & Fodor
Proposes representing a word's meaning as a bundle of semantic markers that a formal projection rule combines to predict a sentence's meaning and to flag which readings of an ambiguous sentence make sense together.
Eleanor Rosch
Argues that word categories are organised around a prototypical best example rather than a checklist of necessary features, so category membership is graded rather than all-or-nothing.
