The Festschrift volume consists of 42 contributions by 55 authors
from 13 countries. The papers, written in Catalan, English, French,
Russian and Spanish, treat data from these and some other languages
(Arabic, BCS [Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian], Czech, Finnish, Hebrew,
Korean, Upper Kuskokwim Athabaskan [Alaska], Shughni [Pamir]). They
pertain to virtually all branches of "core" synchronic linguistics
(with occasional excursions into diachrony, literary theory,
philology and religious studies): semantics, lexicology /
lexicography, syntax and morphology. Some are more theoretically
minded while others are focused on pedagogical and / or
computational applications of language models, particularly those
of the Meaning-Text theory. The topics covered are collocations and
other types of phrasemes, lexical functions, syntactic
dependencies, argument structure and grammatical voice, to mention
just a few.
This book is an advanced introduction to semantics that presents
this crucial component of human language through the lens of the
'Meaning-Text' theory - an approach that treats linguistic
knowledge as a huge inventory of correspondences between thought
and speech. Formally, semantics is viewed as an organized set of
rules that connect a representation of meaning (Semantic
Representation) to a representation of the sentence (Deep-Syntactic
Representation). The approach is particularly interesting for
computer assisted language learning, natural language processing
and computational lexicography, as our linguistic rules easily lend
themselves to formalization and computer applications. The model
combines abstract theoretical constructions with numerous
linguistic descriptions, as well as multiple practice exercises
that provide a solid hands-on approach to learning how to describe
natural language semantics.
