Los atlas lingüísticos son los productos originados de los trabajos de la Dialectología aliada a la Geolingüística. Su objetivo es describir el lenguaje hablado en una determinada región. En este ...trabajo, discutiremos sobre una peculiaridad dialectal que se repite en diferentes atlas en Mato Grosso do Sul; en tal caso, son destacadas las cartas a respecto de la unidad lexical “bolita” que además de ser la respuesta más productiva dentro de los designativos ocurrende modo representativo en las diferentes regiones del estado. Así, este trabajo propone un análisis léxico-semántico de los datos cartografi ados para “as coisinhas redondas, de vidro, com que os meninos gostam de brincar” considerando los principios de la Dialectología y de la Geolingüística además de investigar las motivaciones histórica-sociales que determinan su uso. Como resultado son apuntadas las relaciones entre léxico y sociedad.
Distributional semantics embodies the idea that the context in which a word occurs reveals the meaning of that word. In contemporary corpus linguistics, that idea takes shape in various types of ...quantitative context analysis. This monograph explores how count-based token-level semantic vector spaces, as an advanced form of such a quantitative methodology, can be applied to the study of polysemy, lexical variation, and lectometry. What can distributional models reveal about meaning? How can they be used to analyse the semantic relationship between near-synonyms? And how can they contribute to the study of lexical variation as a sociolinguistic variable? The book details the conceptual background of lexical semantic and lexical variation research, explains the mechanism of distributional modelling, and introduces distributional workflows and corpus linguistic tools to answer the questions. Combining a cognitive linguistic interest in meaning with a sociolinguistic interest in variation, it illustrates that distributional methodology with case studies on Dutch and Spanish lexical data, focusing on the value of distributional models for semantic analysis, the interaction of semasiological and onomasiological change, and sociolinguistic issues of lexical standardization and pluricentricity.
While topics such as death, funerary cult, and the netherworld have received considerable scholarly attention in the context of the Ugaritic textual corpus, the related concept of life has been ...relatively neglected. Life and Mortality in Ugaritic takes as its premise that one cannot grasp the significance of mwt (“to die”) without first having wrestled with the concept of ḥyy (“to live”).
In this book, Matthew McAffee takes a lexical approach to the study of life and death in the Ugaritic textual corpus. He identifies and analyzes the Ugaritic terms most commonly used to talk about life and mortality in order to construct a more representative framework of the ancient perspective on these topics, and he concludes by synthesizing the results of this lexical study into a broader literary discussion that considers, among other things, the implications for our understanding of the first-millennium Katumuwa stele from Zincirli.
McAffee’s study complements previous scholarly work in this area, which has tended to rely on conceptual and theoretical treatment of mortality, and advances the discussion by providing a more focused lexical analysis of the Ugaritic terms in question. It will be of interest to Semitic scholars and those who study Ugaritic in particular, in addition to students of the culture of the ancient Levant.

El objetivo de este trabajo es ofrecer una aproximación al habla de la localidad de Moros (Zaragoza) y, para ello, se proporciona un vocabulario de 566 voces, algunas de ellas específicas del habla ...de esta localidad, junto a 52 frases hechas. Tanto las voces como las frases hechas han sido recogidas y definidas pacientemente por el autor a lo largo de varias décadas y a medida que «venían a su memoria». Y es que, en última instancia, conocer el habla de un colectivo (el vocabulario o las voces de un pueblo) es un modo de adentrarse en la médula, en el tuétano de dicho pueblo, de tocar su alma y de participar de su espíritu.
This paper investigates the question of compounding as a productive word-formation process in Scientific English by exploring the concepts of collocation and lexicalisation. The claim is that ...compounds can exhibit different internal structures, including syntactically ambiguous forms, as is the case with the noun + prepositional phrase. Frequency of co-occurrence and the unique meaning of all elements, together with the phenomenon of technicalisation, argue in favour of such an assumption. Some constraints, however, must be admitted. On occasions, the semantic type of the head noun (abstract, concrete, proper, common) can determine whether a particular construction is to be classified as a compound or not.
