Frames, Fields, and Contrasts
Recently, there has been a surge of interest in the lexicon. The demand for a fuller and more adequate understanding of lexical meaning required by developments in computational linguistics, artificial intelligence, and cognitive science has stimulated a refocused interest in linguistics, psychology, and philosophy. Different disciplines have studied lexical structure from their own vantage points, and because scholars have only intermittently co…
Wine and Conversation
The vocabulary of wine is large and exceptionally vibrant—from straight-forward descriptive words like “sweet” and “fragrant”, colorful metaphors like “ostentatious” and “brash”, to the more technical lexicon of biochemistry. The world of wine vocabulary is growing alongside the current popularity of wine itself, particularly as new words are employed by professional wine writers, who not only want to write interesting prose, but avoid repetition…

L'A. examine les mots anglais tels que mountainscape, chocoholic, telethon, etc., qui resultent d'un melange de mots et dont le morpheme final est devenu tres productif. Dans un premier temps, il analyse les proprietes de ces neologismes et montre qu'elles ressemblent a celles des mots composes. Dans un deuxieme temps, il tente de determiner la place qu'ils occupent dans le reseau semantique et explore la possibilite selon laquelle ils induiraien…

Understanding classroom lectures
After hearing three lectures as part of a regular university course, students were asked to summarize the lectures. The lectures were graded for accuracy and completeness. Each one was taped, transcribed, and coded, using a coding system based on work by van Dijk and Kintsch (1983) and Meyers (1975a, 1975b). The hypotheses to be tested were: (1) The percentage, but not the number of propositions would correlate positively with the accuracy scores…
Polysemy, conventionality, and the structure of the lexicon
Impersonal uses of personal pronouns
Remembering and representing prose
Experiments involving memory for prose have shown that subjects remember meaning better than form and that memory for prose is better in natural environments than in the laboratory. In even the most favorable circumstances, however, verbatim recall is faulty. Words that are not tightly integrated into the clause are remembered less well than those that are not, e.g., hedges and intensifiers, conjunctions, and modifiers. The data have implications…

Markedness and antonymy
Standard treatments of antonymy regularly state that of a pair of antonyms, one member is marked while the other one is unmarked. Certain semantic and syntactic properties are predicated of the unmarked (or in some cases of the marked) member of the pair. A few examples are given, usually 20 or so, which bear out the predictions

Structures of the lexicon and transfer of meaning
Semantic Fields and Lexical Structure
Buku ini merupakan kajian tentang makna-makna leksikal dan hubungannya dengan makna struktur. Bagian yang dikaji adalah termasuk analisis komponensial, kontradiksi, semantik universal, serta juga grammar dan leksikon
Exploring Semantic Structures
Interpreting certain adverbs
Charles Morris' division of signs into syntactics, semantics, and pragmatics has been handed down to linguists and philosophers of language, who have more or less accepted the validity of the categories. However, the generative semanticists have argued, persuasively in my opinion, that the line between syntactics and semantics is not sharp (cf., e.g. Lakoff, 1971). By examining a small but important class of adverbs, I will try to show that the l…

Talking about Wine
People frequently comment about wine when drinking it; but to what extent do they mean the same things by the words they use ? A structural analysis of the wine vocabulary used by wine experts is given. Experiments involving typical wine drinkers show that there is little consensus in how the words are applied to wines. Moreover, communication tasks show that the sender and receiver of messages about wine perform little better than chance
Semantic cuisine
Structural semantics seeks to discover certain relationships among the words in the vocabulary of a language. 1 This area of linguistic analysis has received relatively little systematic study by most linguists until recently (Gleason, 1962: 86), and the vocabulary has been considered a rather unorganized set of items
