Abstract:
The papers in this volume are linked by a common concern, which is at the
centre of current linguistic enquiry: how do we classify and categorize
linguistic data, and how does this process add to our understanding of
linguistic change? The scene is set by Aitchison's paper on the development
of linguistic categorization over the past few decades, followed by
Biggam's critical overview of theoretical developments in colour semantics.
Lexical classification in action is discussed in papers by Fischer, Kay and
Sylvester on the structures of thesauruses, while detailed treatments of
particular semantic areas are offered by Kleparski, Miko³ajczuk, O'Hare and
Peters. Papers by Lass, Laing and Williamson, and Smith are concerned with
the nature of linguistic evidence in the context of the historical record,
offering new insights into text typology, scribal language and vowel
classification. Much of the data discussed is new and original.
