Abstract:

How do words mean? What is the nature of meaning? How can we grasp a word’s
meaning? The frame-semantic approach developed in this book offers some
well-founded answers to such long-standing, but still controversial issues.
Following Charles Fillmore’s definition of frames as both organizers of
experience and tools for understanding, the monograph attempts to examine one
of the most important concepts of Cognitive Linguistics in more detail. The
point of departure is Fillmore’s conception of “frames of understanding” – an
approach to (cognitive) semantics that Fillmore developed from 1975 to 1985.
The envisaged Understanding Semantics (“U-Semantics”) is a semantic theory sui
generis whose significance for linguistic research cannot be overestimated. In
addition to its crucial role in the development of the theoretical foundations
of U-semantics, corpus-based frame semantics can be applied fruitfully in the
investigation of knowledge-building processes in text and discourse.
