Current Methods In Historical Semantics

ISBN: 9783110252880 出版年：2011 页码：356 Allan, Kathryn Robinson, Justyna A De Gruyter Mouton

Innovative, data-driven methods provide more rigorous and systematic evidence for the description and explanation of diachronic semantic processes. The volume systematises, reviews, and promotes a range of empirical research techniques and theoretical perspectives that currently inform work across the discipline of historical semantics. In addition to emphasising the use of new technology, the potential of current theoretical models (e.g. within variationist, sociolinguistic or cognitive frameworks) is explored along the way.
