Semantic Information: A difference that makes a difference

Anonymous

Abstract: In this study based on an English fairytale corpus, we interpret Semantic information (SemI) in natural language as the difference of information between an informed and an uninformed system. Only an informed system contains SemI and its amount is the information difference between an informed and an uninformed system. This difference we were able to show.
