Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthropolinguistics is a core topic of the majority of books on linguistics today. Still there are different approaches to word study within this field. This book provides a comprehensive survey of historic semantic changes of English polysemous words. Anthropolinguistic Aspect of English Polysemy is a wide-ranging account not only of how words witness history, but also of how evolution change is reflected in word semantics and of links between our past and present. It is available to a large audience as it sheds light on problems of evolution of human cognition that remain at the centre of contemporary linguistics.

Book excerpt: Abstract: "What does it mean to say a word has several meanings? On what grounds do lexicographers make their judgments about the number of meanings a word has? How do the senses a dictionary lists relate to the full range of ways a word might get used? How might NLP systems deal with multiple meanings? These are the questions the thesis addresses. The 'Bank Model' of lexical ambiguity, in which polysemy is treated as homonymy, is shown to be flawed. Words do not in general have a finite number of discrete meanings which an ideal dictionary would list. A word has, in addition to its dictionary senses, an indefinite range of extended uses. The lexicographer describes only the uses which occur reasonably frequently and are not entirely predictable from the word's core meanings. Polysemy is not a natural kind. It describes the crossroads between homonymy, collocation, analogy and alternation. (An alternation is a pattern in which a number of words share the same relationship between pairs of usage-types.) Any non-basic type of use for a word can be treated as belonging in one of these four camps. For computational lexicography, putative polysemous senses should be represented in the lexicon as homonyms, or within collocations, or, implictly, as the outcome of applying an alternation. Uses in the 'analogy' camp will not be described in the lexicon. As others have argued, an elegant theoretical description of lexical knowledge must be inheritance-based. It must be possible to state and inherit generalisations. Within such a lexicon, regularly polysemous and other predictable usage-types can be described concisely. The thesis presents two fragments of the lexicon in which various alternations and other aspects of lexical structure are given concise formal treatments in an inheritance-based lexical representation language."

Download or read book Indeterminacy in Terminology and LSP written by Bassey Antia and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2007-05-09 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the oft-neglected tensions between perspicuity and fuzziness in specialised communication. It describes the manifestations, functions and implications of indeterminacy phenomena in a range of LSP specialisations where it has been customary to expect precision and consistency. The volume presents case studies and methodological frameworks that draw on theoretical, anthropological and cognitive linguistics, safety-critical translating, history and theory of terminology studies, development of ontologies, software localisation, jurisprudence, macroeconomics and interoperability of digital knowledge representation resources. With chapters by leading scholars drawn from eleven countries, this book contributes to the benchmarking of indeterminacy scholarship in LSP studies and is a fitting tribute to its dedicatee, Professor Heribert Picht who, even in retirement, remains a constant presence in LSP and terminology studies. The book should be of interest to scholars of the aforementioned areas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alessandro Duranti introduces linguistic anthropology as an interdisciplinary field which studies language as a cultural resource and speaking as a cultural practice. The theories and methods of linguistic anthropology are introduced through a discussion of linguistic diversity, grammar in use, the role of speaking in social interaction, the organisation and meaning of conversational structures, and the notion of participation as a unit of analysis. Linguistic Anthropology will appeal to undergraduate and graduate students.

Download or read book How Words Mean written by Vyvyan Evans and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-09-10 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How Words Mean introduces a new approach to the role of words and other linguistic units in the construction of meaning. It does so by addressing the interaction between non-linguistic concepts and the meanings encoded in language. It develops an account of how words are understood when we produce and hear language in situated contexts of use. It proposes two theoretical constructs, the lexical concept and the cognitive model. These are central to the accounts of lexicalrepresentation and meaning construction developed, giving rise to the Theory of Lexical Concepts and Cognitive Models (or LCCM Theory).Vyvyan Evans integrates and advances recent developments in cognitive science, particularly in cognitive linguistics and cognitive psychology. He builds a framework for the understanding and analysis of meaning that is at once descriptively adequate and psychologically plausible. In so doing he also addresses current issues in lexical semantics and semantic compositionality, polysemy, figurative language, and the semantics of time and space, and writes in a way that will be accessible tostudents of linguistics and cognitive science at advanced undergraduate level and above.
