    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "To what extent can the similarity structure of categories beinferred based on paradigmatic vs syntagmatic information?We explore this question in two studies that aim to captureparadigmatic information directly: first by having participantsgenerate near-neighbors to exemplars from 15 basic categories,and second by having them partially rank the most similar ex-emplars. After constructing neighborhood graphs of the itemsin each category, we derived a local measure (based on di-rect neighbors) and a global measure (including indirect pathsas well) of paradigmatic information. Both measures predictindependently-obtained human pairwise similarities for eachcategory, but incorporating indirect information substantiallyimproves this prediction. In a third study, we contrast thesemeasures with syntagmatic information obtained from a vast se-mantic network derived from 3 million judgments. The paradig-matic graphs are better predictors of similarity despite onlyencoding a fraction of these data. Broad implications for wordlearning and meaning are discussed.",
