Contains revised papers from a September 1996 symposium which
provided a forum for synchronically and diachronically oriented
scholars to exchange ideas and for American and European cognitive
linguists to confront representatives of different directions in
European structural semantics. Papers are in sections on theories
and models, descriptive categories, and case studies, and examine
areas such as cognitive and structural semantics, diachronic
prototype semantics, synecdoche as a cognitive and communicative
strategy, and intensifiers as targets and sources of semantic
change.
The volume analyzes the natural philosophical accounts and debates
concerning the vegetative powers, namely nutrition, growth, and
reproduction. While principally focusing on the early modern
approaches to the lower functions of the soul, readers will
discover the roots of these approaches back to the Ancient times,
as the volume highlights the role of three strands that help shape
the study of life in the Medieval and early modern natural
philosophies. From late antiquity to the early modern period, the
vegetative soul and its cognate concepts have played a substantial
role in specifying life, living functions, and living bodies,
sometimes blurring the line between living and non-living nature,
and, at other moments, resulting in a strong restriction of life to
a mechanical system of operations and powers. Unearthing the
history of the vegetative soul as a shrub of interconnected
concepts, the 24 contributions of the volume fill a crucial gap in
scholarship, ultimately outlining the importance of vegetal
processes of incessant proliferation, generation, and organic
growth as the roots of life in natural philosophical
interpretations.

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.
In der 1970 gegrundeten Reihe erscheinen Arbeiten, die
philosophiehistorische Studien mit einem systematischen Ansatz oder
systematische Studien mit philosophiehistorischen Rekonstruktionen
verbinden. Neben deutschsprachigen werden auch englischsprachige
Monographien veroeffentlicht. Grundungsherausgeber sind: Erhard
Scheibe (Herausgeber bis 1991), Gunther Patzig (bis 1999) und
Wolfgang Wieland (bis 2003). Von 1990 bis 2007 wurde die Reihe von
Jurgen Mittelstrass mitherausgegeben.
The study lays bare the cross-language principles governing
semantic innovation. The theoretical approach builds a) on a
semantic/semiotic model integrating conceptual knowledge and
language knowledge, and b) the associative principles similarity,
contrast and contiguity. On this basis it is possible to chart and
typologize the development potentials and the linguistic processes
determining meaning change over time. In addition, an entirely new
systematization of language-user motives for semantic innovation is
advanced and polysemy is discussed as a synchronic representation
of meaning change.

With reference to problems of lexis and grammar in the Romance
languages and of metalinguistics in general, the articles collected
in this volume demonstrate that in their complementarity the
onomasiological and semasiological perspectives represent
indispensable points of reference in any form of linguistics
regarding itself as 'cognitive'. With some slight differences in
perspective, the articles discuss issues posed by synchronic and
diachronic lexicology and grammar, analyzing selected conceptual
and functional areas in detail and casting light on problems of
grammatology and the conceptualization of language.
