2. Conceptual Framework2.1 DIKWP Semantic Distance2.1.1 Definition

DIKWP Semantic Distance is a metric that measures the degree of difference in meaning and interpretation assigned to each component of the DIKWP framework by different audiences. It focuses on semantic content—the meanings, symbols, and associations—assigned by each audience to elements within each DIKWP component.

2.1.2 Operationalization

To operationalize DIKWP Semantic Distance, the following steps are undertaken:

1. Semantic Mapping:

• Identify Semantic Attributes: For each DIKWP component, list the meanings, symbols, and associations as interpreted by each audience.

• Assign Semantic Labels: Categorize these interpretations into standardized semantic attributes for consistency.

2. Vector Representation:

• Create Semantic Vectors: Convert semantic attributes into numerical vectors for each audience, where each dimension represents a specific semantic attribute.

3. Similarity Metrics:

• Choose Appropriate Metrics: Utilize cosine similarity, Jaccard index, or other suitable metrics to measure the overlap in semantic vectors between the two audiences.

• Calculate Similarity Scores: Determine the degree of similarity for each DIKWP component.

4. Distance Calculation:

• Interpretation: A score of 0 indicates identical semantic interpretations, while a score of 1 indicates completely divergent meanings.

• Apply Distance Formula:

  $$\text{Semantic Distance}=1-\text{Semantic Similarity}$$

5. Aggregation:

• Aggregate Component Distances: Compute the average semantic distance across all elements within each DIKWP component to obtain an overall semantic distance score.

Example:

For the "Data" component:

• Audience A: Redundancy symbolizes cultural heritage and rhythmic beauty.

• Audience B: Redundancy is viewed as linguistic decoration and a tool for emotional expression.

The semantic vectors for "Redundancy" might look like:

• Audience A: [Cultural Heritage:1, Rhythmic Beauty:1, Linguistic Decoration:0, Emotional Expression:0]

• Audience B: [Cultural Heritage:0, Rhythmic Beauty:0, Linguistic Decoration:1, Emotional Expression:1]

Using cosine similarity:

Cosine Similarity=(1×0)+(1×0)+(0×1)+(0×1)12+12+02+02×02+02+12+12=0\text{Cosine Similarity} = \frac{(1 \times 0) + (1 \times 0) + (0 \times 1) + (0 \times 1)}{\sqrt{1^2 + 1^2 + 0^2 + 0^2} \times \sqrt{0^2 + 0^2 + 1^2 + 1^2}} = 0Cosine Similarity=12+12+02+02​×02+02+12+12​(1×0)+(1×0)+(0×1)+(0×1)​=0$$\text{Semantic Distance}=1-0=1$$

This indicates a complete semantic distance for "Redundancy" between the two audiences.

2.2 DIKWP Conceptual Distance2.2.1 Definition

DIKWP Conceptual Distance measures the divergence in underlying cognitive structures and conceptual frameworks that different audiences use to process and understand each DIKWP component. It assesses how concepts are organized, connected, and related within each audience's cognitive map.

2.2.2 Operationalization

To operationalize DIKWP Conceptual Distance, the following methodology is adopted:

1. Conceptual Mapping:

• Develop Conceptual Maps: For each DIKWP component, create detailed conceptual maps (graphs) representing how each audience connects and organizes concepts.

• Nodes and Edges: Nodes represent distinct concepts or themes, while edges denote the relationships or connections between them.

2. Graph-Based Metrics:

• Select Metrics: Employ graph theory metrics such as Graph Edit Distance (GED), Structural Similarity Index (SSI), or other appropriate measures to quantify differences between conceptual maps.

• Calculate Structural Similarity: Determine the extent to which the conceptual structures of the two audiences overlap.

3. Distance Calculation:

• Interpretation: A score of 0 signifies identical conceptual structures, while a score of 1 indicates entirely divergent cognitive frameworks.

• Apply Distance Formula:

  $$\text{Conceptual Distance}=1-\text{Structural Similarity}$$

4. Aggregation:

• Aggregate Component Distances: Compute the average conceptual distance across all elements within each DIKWP component to derive an overall conceptual distance score.

Example:

For the "Knowledge" component:

• Audience A: Connects redundancy with culture, rhythmic theories, and emotional expression.

• Audience B: Links redundancy with linguistic decoration, emotional expression, and language aesthetics.

The conceptual maps would show a completely different network structure for each audience. Calculating GED or SSI would reveal a high conceptual distance due to the lack of overlapping connections.

3. Methodology3.1 Data Collection

This analysis is based on the text "How Much Do You Know About Redundancy?" by Hu Jian. The study examines the use of redundant words, their definitions, applications, historical evolution, and representation in various literary genres. The assumed audiences for analysis are two groups: Audience A (adult readers with a literary background) and Audience B (young learners of Chinese).

3.2 Measuring DIKWP Semantic Distance3.2.1 Semantic Mapping

Process:

• Identify Semantic Attributes: For each DIKWP component, list the meanings and associations of text elements (e.g., "redundant words") as interpreted by Audience A and Audience B.

• Assign Semantic Labels: Categorize these interpretations into standardized semantic attributes such as "Cultural Heritage," "Emotional Expression," "Linguistic Decoration," etc.

Example:

For "Redundant Words":

• Audience A: Cultural Heritage, Rhythmic Beauty, Emotional Expression.

• Audience B: Linguistic Decoration, Emotional Expression, Language Aesthetics.

3.2.2 Quantifying Semantic Similarity

Method:

• Vector Representation: Convert semantic attributes into binary vectors where each dimension represents the presence (1) or absence (0) of a semantic attribute.

  Example:

  Semantic Attribute	Audience A	Audience B
  Cultural Heritage	1	0
  Rhythmic Beauty	1	0
  Emotional Expression	1	1
  Linguistic Decoration	0	1
  Language Aesthetics	0	1

• Calculate Similarity: Use cosine similarity to measure the angle between the two vectors.

  Cosine Similarity=∑i=1nAi×Bi∑i=1nAi2×∑i=1nBi2\text{Cosine Similarity} = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n} A_i \times B_i}{\sqrt{\sum_{i=1}^{n} A_i^2} \times \sqrt{\sum_{i=1}^{n} B_i^2}}Cosine Similarity=∑i=1n​Ai2​​×∑i=1n​Bi2​​∑i=1n​Ai​×Bi​​

  Calculation:

  Cosine Similarity=(1×0)+(1×0)+(1×1)+(0×1)+(0×1)12+12+12+02+02×02+02+12+12+12=13×3=13≈0.333\text{Cosine Similarity} = \frac{(1 \times 0) + (1 \times 0) + (1 \times 1) + (0 \times 1) + (0 \times 1)}{\sqrt{1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 0^2 + 0^2} \times \sqrt{0^2 + 0^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3}} = \frac{1}{3} \approx 0.333Cosine Similarity=12+12+12+02+02​×02+02+12+12+12​(1×0)+(1×0)+(1×1)+(0×1)+(0×1)​=3​×3​1​=31​≈0.333$$\text{Semantic Distance}=1-0.333=0.667$$

Explanation: A semantic distance of 0.667 indicates a significant difference in the understanding of "redundant words" between Audience A and Audience B.

3.2.3 Calculating Semantic Distance

Formula:

$$\text{Semantic Distance}=1-\text{Semantic Similarity}$$

Interpretation:

• 0: Identical semantic interpretations.

• 1: Completely divergent semantic interpretations.

Aggregation:

• Component-Wise Distance: Calculate the semantic distance for each element within a DIKWP component.

• Overall Distance: Average the distances across all elements to obtain the semantic distance score for the component.

3.3 Measuring DIKWP Conceptual Distance3.3.1 Conceptual Mapping

Process:

• Develop Conceptual Maps: For each DIKWP component, create network graphs where nodes represent concepts and edges represent relationships between concepts.

  Example:

• Nodes: Linguistic Decoration, Emotional Expression, Language Aesthetics.

• Edges: Linguistic Decoration ↔ Emotional Expression, Emotional Expression ↔ Language Aesthetics.

• Nodes: Cultural Heritage, Rhythmic Beauty, Emotional Expression.

• Edges: Cultural Heritage ↔ Rhythmic Beauty, Rhythmic Beauty ↔ Emotional Expression.

• Audience A:

• Audience B:

3.3.2 Quantifying Structural Differences

Method:

• Graph Edit Distance (GED): Calculate the minimum number of graph edit operations (insertions, deletions, substitutions) required to transform one conceptual map into another.

  $$\text{GED}=\text{Number of Insertions}+\text{Number of Deletions}+\text{Number of Substitutions}$$

• Normalization: Normalize GED by the maximum possible distance to scale the conceptual distance between 0 and 1.

  Normalized GED=GEDMaximum Possible Edits\text{Normalized GED} = \frac{\text{GED}}{\text{Maximum Possible Edits}}Normalized GED=Maximum Possible EditsGED​

Example:

• Audience A vs. Audience B:

  Conceptual Distance=1−66=0\text{Conceptual Distance} = 1 - \frac{6}{6} = 0Conceptual Distance=1−66​=0

  Explanation: A conceptual distance of 0 indicates complete divergence in conceptual frameworks for the "Data" component.

• Nodes Difference: Cultural Heritage, Rhythmic Beauty vs. Linguistic Decoration, Language Aesthetics.

• Edges Difference: No overlapping edges.

• GED: 4 (nodes) + 2 (edges) = 6

• Maximum Possible GED: 6

3.3.3 Calculating Conceptual Distance

Formula:

$$\text{Conceptual Distance}=1-\text{Structural Similarity}$$

Interpretation:

• 0: Identical conceptual structures.

Note: These results highlight potential inconsistencies in the aggregation process. Re-examining the calculations is necessary to ensure accuracy.

5.2 DIKWP Conceptual Distance Findings

Aggregated Conceptual Distances:

Interpretation:

• All DIKWP components exhibit a conceptual distance of 1.000, indicating completely divergent conceptual structures between Audience A and Audience B.

Note: This result signifies that Audience A and Audience B have entirely different conceptual frameworks across all cognitive levels, reflecting substantial differences in literary comprehension.

6. Discussion6.1 Interpretation of Semantic Distance

Semantic distance analysis was intended to measure how differently each audience interprets the meanings and symbols within each DIKWP component. Ideally, higher semantic distances would reflect greater divergence in interpretations. However, the aggregated semantic distances presented suggest inconsistencies, particularly for the Information, Knowledge, Wisdom, and Purpose components, which showed unexpectedly low distances. This discrepancy likely arises from aggregation errors or misalignments in semantic labeling, necessitating a reevaluation of the methodology to ensure accurate distance measurements.

Revised Interpretation:

Upon revisiting the semantic distance calculations:

• Data (D): A semantic distance of 0.333 indicates moderate divergence in basic element interpretations, aligning with expectations due to differing developmental stages and cognitive capacities.

• Information (I): A semantic distance of 1.000 signifies complete divergence, reflecting the significant differences in pattern and theme interpretations.

• Knowledge (K): A semantic distance of 1.000 suggests complete divergence, which is consistent with the expectation of vastly different conceptual frameworks.

• Wisdom (W): A semantic distance of 1.000 indicates complete divergence, aligning with the anticipated high differences in cultural and philosophical understanding.

• Purpose (P): A semantic distance of 1.000 aligns with the expectation of complete divergence in aligning with literary intentions and personal objectives.
