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.
Reviews / Votes
"This volume is highly welcome since few reference books on semantic shifts have been published to date [...] This volume is the first one to be clearly typologically oriented. [...] This volume should become a reference book on this topic in the future. Since each chapter is carefully argued, this volume will interest researchers in lexicology, typology, as well as in cognitive and cultural linguistics."Olivier Bondeelle in: Linguist List 10.10.2017 https://linguistlist.org/issues/28/28-4144.html
