Lexical meaning - Syntagmatic relations

Más información sobre el libro

Exploring linguistic theory, this paper delves into Ferdinand de Saussure's concepts of syntagmatic and paradigmatic relationships. It examines how words relate to one another within a sentence versus their associations with other words not present. The discussion highlights the evolution of these ideas, particularly Hjelmslev's introduction of paradigmatic relationships, which have gained preference in contemporary linguistics. The analysis is grounded in academic rigor, reflecting insights from studies in English language and literature.
