The phenomena described include polysemy, homonymy, synonymy, hyperonymy, cohyponymy, hyponymy and antonymy, with special attention being paid to polysemy or homonymy and in particular to synonymy and its relation to antonymy, parasynonymy and hyponymy. The theoretical basis of a research project on these relations is put forward, the main objective of which is to carry out a comprehensive analysis in a determined language of the semantic relations which constitute its basic units.

Many stylebooks and manuals explain writing, but before the release ten years ago of Elsie Myers Stainton's "The Fine Art of Copyediting, " few addressed the practices and problems of editing.

This elementary textbook provides a succinct step-by-step account of all the most important and central English construction and categories. Rodney Huddleston's earlier work,An Introduction to the Grammar of English, was praised by reviewers for its clarity, and that is a particular strength of this new textbook as well. The book draws on descriptive and theoretical advances made in modern linguistics, but any significant departures from traditional grammar are pointed out. An important feature of the book is that it explains the major grammatical categories at both a language-particular level (specifically for English) and a general level, so that it could be used as a concise reference work for English by students taking courses in language typology.

The volume looks into selected aspects of negation and interrogation and the way they interrelate. After a comparative investigation of negation in German, Serbian and Turkish offering a number of new insights on mechanisms operative in all three languages, the position of the negator is discussed with reference to German and to languages generally. With reference to the analysis of universal interactive structures between negation and interrogation, the author discusses and elaborates on various descriptive approaches to the status of sentence modes, also providing empirical material culled from a total of 52 different languages.

More and more linguists acknowledge the cardinal importance of good descriptive grammar, especially when it satisfies the criterion of comparability across languages. Pioneering in this respect was the Lingua Descriptive Studies questionnaire devised by Comrie and Smith (1977). The first four articles in this volume outline a general structural framework for descriptive grammars based on a systematic elaboration of this approach. The second group of articles discuss problems of grammatical description involved in selected areas such as topicalization in sentences, noun-verb distinction, semantic roles and verb complexes with respect to their general comparability.

Originating from papers presented at an international colloquium, the 18 articles in this volume reflect the different aspects of modality: general, lexical, temporal and modal. There is no one single definition or methodological approach to the study of modality. This is borne out by the range of these articles, with perspectives extending from different manifestation forms of modality to its different implications or values (alethic, deontic, epistemic, radical, etc.) and from modality in specific genres to contrastive and historical perspectives on the phenomenon.
