Abstract

An increasing body of evidence points to the need to revise global information systems through linguistic categorization. This theory is based on the logic of causation, which claims that linguistic categorization affects online taxonomies and the semantic aspects of search engines. First, linguistic categories often differ within specific regional contexts (linguistic generation for number and color are two well-known exceptions). Second, these differences in linguistic categorization have analogues in online taxonomies, as these groupings are normally based on the higher level abstractions of nouns. Finally, linguistic categorization may also affect search engines, which are driven by a need to parse natural language. If the logic of linguistic categorization is correct, then this theory provides a simple conceptual tool for rethinking a global information system.
