Annotation

The contributions to this volume provide cognitive perspectives on issues in lexical semantics. Some papers reconsider the polysemy vs. monosemy debate and generally acknowledged notions regarding categories' radial network structure, others deal with new approaches to lexical categories' prototype structure, or still lexical and constructional meaning interaction, and the connection between word meanings and their contexts.
