Known by Its Company
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
The distributional idea holds that a word is known by the company it keeps — similar contexts, similar meanings, so context statistics can stand in for definitions.
Show
"Rain" and "snow" share sentences about forecasts and boots; "flour" keeps different company entirely — no dictionary consulted.
Watch for
Company records how people write, not how things are — the idea's power and its fingerprint share a root.
