The Lexical Typology of Semantic Shifts, Hardback Book

The Lexical Typology of Semantic Shifts Hardback

Edited by Paivi Juvonen, Maria Koptjevskaja-Tamm

Part of the Cognitive Linguistics Research [CLR] series

Hardback

Description

The volume focuses on semantic shifts and motivation patterns in the lexicon.

Its key feature is its lexico-typological orientation, i.e. a heavy emphasis on systematic cross-linguistic comparison.

The book presents current theoretical and methodological trends in the study of semantic shifts and motivational patters based on an abundance of empirical findings across genetically, areally and typologically diverse languages.
