Aspiring Sociopath

proactively exploiting market positioning models through distinctively procrastinating frictionless collaborations and idea-sharing, monotonectally restoring accurate infrastructures built for interactively creating vertical opportunities towards assertively cultivating raw minerals and scraps of rusted metal, and applying them surgically to the sides of your head, by yourself alone in the dark

i. sense discrimination for particle verbs, particles and simplex verbs (including the base verbs with regard to the chosen particle verbs); 
and
ii. identification of regular meaning shifts and the conditions that trigger the meaning shifts.

Concerning (i), our work is interdisciplinary, combining (A) theoretical considerations about salient meaning components with (B) empirical evidence from psycholinguistic experiments and (C) computational models with a strong focus on distributional information and soft clustering methods to represent and disambiguate contextual ambiguity. 

Concerning (ii), we aim to incorporate the empirical sense properties into computational models that identify regular polysemy regarding PV-BV meaning shifts via analogy. Importantly, we are not only interested in the identification of the meaning shifts per se, but in addition we aim to determine the conditions of the meaning shifts, i.e. the meaning components of the particle verbs and their constituents that trigger the meaning shifts, such as subcategorisation behaviour at the syntax-semantics interface; contextual indicators of abstract vs. concrete contexts; domain information; aspect; etc. As a side-product of meaning shift identification, we will address compositionality: one type of meaning shift is a non-shift with strong PV-BV overlap and a prototypical particle meaning. 

For over two decades, Atmosphere has maintained a course of rigorous output, releasing over two dozen studio albums, EP’s and collaborative side projects in as many years. In that time, the venerated duo have built a legacy out of bringing honesty, humility and vulnerability to the forefront of their music, continually challenging themselves to evolve without straying too far from their roots. Slug has proven masterful at storytelling and writing compelling narratives, leaving a trail of his own influence while paying homage to the rappers and songwriters that helped shape him. Ant has skillfully molded the soundtracks with inspiration from soul, funk, rock, reggae, and the wizardry of hip-hop’s pioneering DJ’s and producers, creating his own trademark sounds while providing the pulse for songs about life, love, stress and setbacks. At its essence, Atmosphere has been a musical shepherd, and with each new album comes a new journey as they guide generations of listeners through this thing called life.
