Conversion. A directional process

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the linguistic phenomenon of conversion, this seminar paper explores various theories surrounding the topic. It highlights Marchand's view of conversion as zero-derivation and introduces Dirven's theory of metonymical extension. In contrast, it examines the perspectives of Hockett and Koziol, who regard conversion as a state characterized by multifunctionality. The author emphasizes conversion as a process, analyzing the directionality of conversion through specific examples from the OED, particularly the words "mountain" and "saw," using Marchand's semantic criteria.
