	The '''Distributional Hypothesis''' is that words that occur in the same contexts tend to have similar meanings (Harris, 1954). The underlying idea that "a word is characterized by the company it keeps" was popularized by Firth (1957), and it is implicit in Weaver's (1955) discussion of [[Word Sense Disambiguation\|word sense disambiguation]] (originally written as a memorandum, in 1949).
