Wǔxiá and Genre Names in Mandarin
The goal of this paper is to offer an analysis of the Mandarin genre name Wǔxiá, a name usually referring to a Chinese genre of narratives involving martially skilled protagonists and heroic deeds. We show that Mandarin speakers use Wǔxiá across different contexts as a genre name expressing subtly different degrees of context-based content. For instance, users in on-line conversations may label any fantastic-like fiction as Wǔxiá, but literature …
Syntactic Cartography meets semantic maps
The goal of this paper is to account for the polysemy of Italian simple prepositions ( a , da , di , in ) via the integration of two distinct theoretical perspectives: Semantic Maps and Syntactic Cartography. We show that these prepositions can coexpress several spatial and non-spatial senses, via a detailed study of their distribution in web corpora. We then argue that these senses share a common semantic feature: they all introduce ‘general par…
The Polysemy and Hyponymy of Mandarin Spatial Prepositions and Localisers
The goal of this paper is to offer an overview of polysemy patterns in Mandarin’s chief spatial categories: prepositions (e.g., zai ) and simple and compound localisers (respectively, qian and qian-mian ). The paper presents data from an elicitation study that shows how speakers can access multiple senses and hyponymy relations for the vocabulary items belonging to these categories. The paper shows that while prepositions can potentially cover di…
