How Words Mean introduces a new approach to the role of words and
other linguistic units in the construction of meaning. It does so
by addressing the interaction between non-linguistic concepts and
the meanings encoded in language. It develops an account of how
words are understood when we produce and hear language in situated
contexts of use. It proposes two theoretical constructs, the
lexical concept and the cognitive model. These are central to the
accounts of lexical representation and meaning construction
developed, giving rise to the Theory of Lexical Concepts and
Cognitive Models (or LCCM Theory).
Vyvyan Evans integrates and advances recent developments in
cognitive science, particularly in cognitive linguistics and
cognitive psychology. He builds a framework for the understanding
and analysis of meaning that is at once descriptively adequate and
psychologically plausible. In so doing he also addresses current
issues in lexical semantics and semantic compositionality,
polysemy, figurative language, and the semantics of time and space,
and writes in a way that will be accessible to students of
linguistics and cognitive science at advanced undergraduate level
and above.
