Morphology and Lexical Semantics (Cambridge Studies in Linguistics Book 104) by Rochelle Lieber (PDF)

Description

Morphology and Lexical Semantics explores the meanings of morphemes and how they combine to form the meanings of complex words, including derived words (writer, unionise), compounds (dog bed, truck driver) and words formed by conversion. Rochelle Lieber discusses the lexical semantics of word formation in a systematic way, allowing the reader to explore the nature of affixal polysemy, the reasons why there are multiple affixes with the same function and the issues of mismatch between form and meaning in word formation. Using a series of case studies from English, this book develops and justifies the theoretical apparatus necessary for raising and answering many questions about the semantics of word formation. Distinguishing between a lexical semantic skeleton that is featural and hierarchically organised and a lexical semantic body that is holistic, it shows how the semantics of word formation has a paradigmatic character.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐語形成における接辞の働きを語彙意味論的な観点から詳細に論じた本。極めて有益である。たとえば、否定の接辞-inはinfidelity, inexperience のように用いられて、fidelity, experienceの意味を否定するが、否定の仕方は両者で微妙に異なるという。１＊He displayed neither fidelity nor infidelity.2. He showed neither experience nor inexperience.Fidelity/infidelity の間には段階性はないが、experience/inexperience には段階性があり「熟練」でもない「未熟練」でもない中間的な段階があるという。また、動詞、名詞の意味特性の議論も面白い。1. ?Afteer having descended the ladder, Morgan found himself to be exactly the same place he had started from.2. After having walked for hours, Daisy found herself to be exactly in the same place she had started from.1が微妙におかしいのはdescend には[IEPS] (inferable eventual position or state)という意味特性がついているのにwalk にはつていないからであるという。議論の展開の仕方はかなり手強いが、じっくり読めば得るところは大きいと思う。
