The real polysemous meaning of real: a study in lexical pragmatics by Olivier Simonin, Sarah Bourse

“…Our main objective is to provide an account of the meaning of the polysemous adjective real that is theoretically grounded in post-Gricean pragmatics (Carston [2002], Recanati [2003], Sperber &#38; Wilson [1996]). Combining lexical semantics and linguistic pragmatics is not new (see, e.g., Depraetere [2014] and Carston [2021]) and we believe that it can lead to a better understanding of the actual use of lexemes in context – especially when they are polysemous. …”

Lexical Meaning in the Corpus of Texts by Andrey Evgenyevich Bochkarev

“…In particular, using text corpora, it is possible to re-examine problems that are traditional for lexical semantics, such as polysemy, the unity of meaning as well as opportunities for interpretation of units provided by a context or an intertext. …”

Le motif « vieille » dans la toponymie de l’aire celtique by Lee Fossard

“…The ‘hag’ linguistic motif is omnipresent in toponymy, oral literature and lexical semantics. Research has highlighted concordances between different cultural and linguistic areas, notably through the development of a method for researching and processing ethnolinguistic data.There are around a hundred Breton place names featuring this motif in the forms Gr(o)ac’h, (G)wrac’h, Vr(o)ac’h and Gr(o)ah, such as Croas ar Vroac’h ‘hag’s cross’, Kergwrac’h ‘hag’s village/house’, Ar Wrac’h ‘the hag’ (an obstacle), Porz-Grac’h ‘hag’s pass’, Guernégrouac’h ‘hag’s bog’, and in the forms Men-er-Grah ‘hag’s rock’ and Bez ar Wrac’h ‘hag’s tomb’ (two megaliths). …”

Functional FX-bar Projections of the (Romanian) Verbal Group and Sub-Groups on the Syntactic-Semantic Interface by Neculai Curteanu, Diana Trandabat, Mihai Alex Moruz

“…The paper examines several problems and their solutions for the syntactic-semantic theories of VG, as discussed in some fundamental papers, and we offer our explanation on the involved syntactic phenomena, the emphasis falling on the VG substructures (verbal subgroups, VSGs), VSG boundaries and composition within VG, direct and inverse FX-bar projections of VG, VG parsing, lexical semantics and intensional~/ extensional logic representations of the Romanian (verbal or nominal) predicate.…”

The combinatorial patterns of twá 'to cut' in Asante-Twi (Akan): by Dorothy Pokua Agyepong

“…Taking into consideration the fact that “natural language tries to minimize polysemy” (Levin and Rappaport Hovav 2013: 2), I propose a univocal lexical semantics for twá ‘to cut’ and show that its basic semantics is kept constant even in non-prototypical contexts. …”

Speech and Language Disorders in Kenyan Children: Adapting Tools For Regions With Few Assessment Resources. by Carter, J, Murira, G, Gona, J, Tumaini, J, Lees, J, Neville, BG, Newton, C

“…The assessment was based upon the adapted versions of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, Test for the Reception of Grammar, Renfrew Action Picture Test, Pragmatics Profile of Everyday Communication Skills in Children, Test of Word Finding and language specific tests of lexical semantics, higher level language. Preliminary measures of construct validity suggested that the theoretical assumptions behind the construction of the assessments were appropriate and re-test and inter-rater reliability scores were acceptable. …”

Analogy in morphological change by Sims-Williams, H

“…In chapter 4, I test the common claim that diachrony is guided by a universal preference for one-to-one mapping of meaning and form in language, implemented via Universal Grammar, and in chapter 5, I consider the diachronic implications of a set of claims by Carstairs-McCarthy (1998), that the degree to which synchronic systems of inflectional morphology deviate from this ideal meaning-form relationship is limited by a set of constraints on the acquisition of lexical semantics. I test the predictions made by these teleological theories against systematic data from synchronic verbal paradigms in classical Greek, and their subsequent diachronic restructuring, and show that the theories are not supported by this evidence. …”
