Structuring the Lexicon

Más información sobre el libro

Exploring the intersection of language and meaning, this volume investigates how learners derive understanding of abstract concepts without sensory-motor experience. It examines the role of frequency distributions in language input and how semantic knowledge is spread between grammar and lexicon. A key focus is on the often-overlooked synonymy of constructions and lexemes, offering fresh insights into a significant yet neglected aspect of Western linguistics.
