Language and meaning; cognitive and functional perspectives. (Polish studies in English language and literature; v.19)by Poznan Linguistic Meeting (36th: 2005) Ed. by Malgorzata Fabiszak
Book description: Peter Lang Publishing Inc, 2007. Paperback. New Book. Paperback. These 18 papers are drawn from those presented at a May 2005 meeting of linguists, lexicogaphers, translation studies theorists and practitioners, a psycholinguist and even a philosopher. The papers are therefore varied in both content and intent, and include such topics as synergy in the construction of meaning, plausibility and predictability in the suppression of irrelevant literal meanings and idiom processing, English dictionaries as sources for syntactic information on verbs, vantage theory and its place in cognitive approaches, the domains of meaning and language, embodied emotions in Chinese, schematization and valuation in abstract concepts, conceptualizations of English by native and advanced Polish speakers, meaning and its relation to cognition and social interaction, the construction of meaning across cultures, linguistic semantics and lexicography, lexicography and its relation to semantics and pragmatics, meaning in a material world, setting boundaries to fuzzy adjectives, pragmatic competence, and an alternative theory of the metaphor.
