| description | This article presents some results of a corpus-based study to identify and classify some social dimensions of the concepts ‘MAN’ and ‘WOMAN’ represented by collocations of the lexemes ‘man’ and ‘woman’ with attributive adjectives in the Corpus of Contemporary American English.

The semantic analysis of the adjectives helps to identify ‘cultural and national connotations’ of the conceptual features they represent. |
