A Distributional Semantics Theory is a lexical semantics theory that is based on a corpus statistics/distributional statistics.
- Context:
- It can range from being a Distributional Words Semantic Theory to being a Distributional Phrase Semantic Theory to being a Distributional Sentence Semantic Theory to being a Distributional Passage Semantic Theory to being a Distributional Document Semantic Theory.
- It can be referenced by a Distributional Semantics Model (created by a distributional semantics model creation task).
- Example(s):
- See: Textual Semantics, Shallow Semantic Processing, Semantics, Harris' Distributional Hypothesis.

- Distributional semantics is a research area that develops and studies theories and methods for quantifying and categorizing semantic similarities between linguistic items based on their distributional properties in large samples of language data. The basic idea of distributional semantics can be summed up in the so-called Distributional hypothesis: linguistic items with similar distributions have similar meanings.

- QUOTE: Distributional semantics is the branch of natural language processing that attempts to model the meanings of words, phrases and documents from the distribution and usage of words in a corpus of text. In the past three years, research in this area has been accelerated by the availability of the Semantic Vectors package, a stable, fast, scalable, and free software package for creating and exploring concepts in distributional models.
