XIII, 246 S. 230 mm)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe monograph investigates the relationship between form and meaning in different domains and centers on a group of methods referred to as \"linguistic profiles\" that have been developed recently by researchers at the University of Tromsø. These methods are based on the observation that there is a strong correlation between semantic and distributional properties of linguistic units. This book discusses grammatical, semantic, constructional, collostructional and diachronic profiles. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\nLinguistic profiles as a group of methods are based on recent developments in the area of cognitive and functional linguistics: 1) form in language always has a relation to meaning, 2) a categorical approach to language is replaced with an understanding of language as a gradient phenomenon, which is investigated via statistics, 3) grammar is seen as a usage-based phenomenon. \nThroughout the book we see that each of the profiles determines a correlation between certain forms and certain meanings. By studying the distribution of different forms we can uncover the semantic restrictions standing behind them. \n\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJulia Kuznetsova\u003c\/strong\u003e, Arctic University of Norway, Tromsø, Norway.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48782856814827,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":294.8,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9783110355536-1.jpg?v=1783114484","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/zh\/products\/9783110355536","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
