How do people talk about words? This work explores naming constructions such as This formation is called a “coral reef” that are used to introduce lexicalized concepts like coral reef through metalinguistic reference. Drawing on the theoretical foundations in philosophy of language as well as recent work in semantics and pragmatics, experimental evidence from corpus analyses and psycholinguistic experiments—including self-paced reading and eye-tracking data—uncover the linguistic and cognitive p

Der vorliegende Band versammelt ausgewählte Beiträge des XXXVIII. Romanistischen Kolloquiums zum Themenschwerpunkt „Kognitive Linguistik und Romanistik“. Die Texte spiegeln die zunehmende Relevanz kognitiv-linguistischer Ansätze innerhalb der romanistischen Sprachwissenschaft wider – eine Entwicklung, die als Reaktion auf frühere, primär systemorientierte Theorietraditionen entstand. Die Beiträge decken ein breites Spektrum aktueller Perspektiven der kognitiven Linguistik innerhalb der Romanisti

This monograph investigates for the first time words like ‘thing’ of maximal semantic generality across languages. Not all languages have exact equivalents of English ‘thing’ – in some, for instance, the nearest equivalent is an interrogative stem (‘what?’). Few languages extend their ‘thing’ words into indefinite ‘something’, ‘anything’, ‘nothing’, as in English. As regards Indo-European languages, Buck (1988) points out that such words typically derive from a more abstract source than that of

This book brings together some of the most prominent linguists working in the field of East and Southeast Asian syntax to create a special collection of papers which highlight new developments in the analysis of the syntax of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and other Southeast Asian languages. Generative syntactic theory has regularly been influenced by discoveries made in Asian languages, and the present volume connects a broad range of striking patterns found in Asian languages with Mini

The conference considers all aspects of the linguistic and sociolinguistic competences and practices of bi-/multilingual speakers who cross existing social, cultural and linguistic boundaries, adopting or adapting themselves to new and overlapping linguistic spaces. We invite papers in all areas of research in bi-/multilingualism, whether or not linked directly to the overarching conference theme, including, but not limited to, linguistics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics,

The Crosslinguistic Perspectives on Processing and Learning Workshop (X-PPL) brings together the growing community of researchers working to expand the diversity of languages in the scope of psycholinguistic and neuroscience research. This research is driven by the recognition that structural/typological and socio-cultural diversity provides important and unique opportunities to see language processing and language learning mechanisms at work. The bulk of processing and acquisition research repr
