Abstract

This paper outlines a framework for connectionist representation based on the composition of connectionist states under vector space operators. The framwork is used to specify a level of connectionist structure defined in terms of addressable superposition space hierarchies. Direct and relative address systems can be defined for such structures which use the functional components of linguistic structures as labels. Unbounded dependency phenomena are shown to be related to the different properties of these labelling structures.
