Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Cognitive Linguistics has significantly advanced the study of semantics and the lexicon. This volume compiles seventeen previously published papers that highlight the effectiveness of Cognitive Linguistics in exploring lexical and semantic issues. Covering work from the late 1980s to recent years, the collection includes several classic papers in cognitive linguistic lexicology, organized into thematic sections. The first section addresses prototypicality as a model for semantic description. The second focuses on polysemy and the criteria for distinguishing meanings. The third section explores meaning beyond words, examining idioms and constructions. The next section broadens the discussion to cultural aspects of meaning. Moving towards applied concerns, the fifth section considers lexicography through the lens of Cognitive Linguistics. The final section offers a metatheoretical perspective, discussing the history and methodology of lexical semantics. Each paper is prefaced by a new introduction that contextualizes it within its original publication period and highlights subsequent developments in the author's research or in the field. The diverse topics covered make this collection an excellent introduction to lexicological and lexical semantic research.
