Abstract:

This book presents an innovative and novel approach to linguistic semantics,
starting from the idea that language can be described as a mechanism for the
expression of linguistic Meanings as particular surface forms, or Texts.
Semantics is specifically that system of rules that ensures a transition from
a Semantic Representation of the Meaning of a family of synonymous sentences
to the Deep-Syntactic Representation of a particular sentence. Framed in the
terms of Meaning-Text linguistics, the present volume closes the publication
of the three volume series. It discusses in detail several linguistic notions
crucial to the development of Meaning-Text models of natural languages:
semantic and syntactic actants, government pattern, lexical functions,
linguistic connotations, phrasemes, the meaning of grammatical cases, and
linguistic dependencies. The notions under analysis are illustrated from a
variety of languages. Reflecting the author’s life-long dedication to the
study of the semantics and syntax of natural language, this book is a
paradigm-shifting contribution to the language sciences, whose originality and
daring will make it essential reading for linguists, anthropologists,
semioticians, and computational linguists.
