This volume brings together the latest research on the semantics of
nouns in both familiar and less well-documented languages,
including English, Mandarin Chinese, Russian, the Papuan language
Koromu, the Dravidian language Solega, and
Pitjantjatjara/Yankunytjatjara from Australia. Chapters offer
systematic and detailed analyses of scores of individual nouns
across a range of conceptual domains, including 'people', 'places',
and 'living things', with each analysis fully grounded in a unified
methodological framework. They not only cover central theoretical
issues specific to the analysis of the domain in question, but also
empirically investigate the different types of meaning relations
that hold between nouns, such as meronymy, hyponymy, taxonomy, and
antonymy. The collection of studies show how in-depth meaning
analysis anchored in a cross-linguistic and cross-domain
perspective can lead to unexpected insights into the common and
particular ways in which speakers of different languages
conceptualize, categorize, and order the world around them. This
unique volume brings together a new generation of semanticists from
across the globe, and will be of interest to researchers in
linguistics, psychology, anthropology, biology, and philosophy.
