This students' manual provides an introductory overview of lexical
semantics based on the present state of theoretical discussion. It
explains important 'basics'such as lexical relations, the
distinction between polysemy and homonymy, and the problems posed
by the concept of 'meaning'. Alongside structural semantics and
semantic approaches of a generative persuasion, the book also gives
an introduction to cognitive semantics (with special reference to
prototype theory and the scenes-and-frames approach). The manual
also gives detailed coverage of historical semantics: fundamentals,
typology and motives of meaning change, and - in a broader
perspective - various kinds of lexical change, including
word-formation, loan-words, etc.
