This book presents a study of meaning relations, linking the
philosophical tradition of conceptual analysis with recent theories
and methodologies in cognitive semantics. Its main concern is the
extent to which analyzing meaning relations between cognate words
reveal the infrastructure of the actual and mental lexicon,
assuming that language mirrors thought. Sovran aims to elucidate
their infrastructure and the metaphorical and perceptual models
that constitute abstract concepts, dealing finally with the role of
abstraction in poetic metaphors. Overall, this volume addresses
major contemporary issues in the philosophy of language and
theoretical semantics.
