Abstract:

This volume brings together the latest research on the semantics of nouns in
both familiar and less well-documented languages, including English, Mandarin
Chinese, Russian, the Papuan language Koromu, the Dravidian language Solega,
and Pitjantjatjara/Yankunytjatjara from Australia. Chapters offer systematic
and detailed analyses of scores of individual nouns across a range of
conceptual domains, including 'people', 'places', and 'living things', with
each analysis fully grounded in a unified methodological framework. They not
only cover central theoretical issues specific to the analysis of the domain
in question, but also empirically investigate the different types of meaning
relations that hold between nouns, such as meronymy, hyponymy, taxonomy, and
antonymy. 

The collection of studies show how in-depth meaning analysis anchored in a
cross-linguistic and cross-domain perspective can lead to unexpected insights
into the common and particular ways in which speakers of different languages
conceptualize, categorize, and order the world around them. This unique volume
brings together a new generation of semanticists from across the globe, and
will be of interest to researchers in linguistics, psychology, anthropology,
biology, and philosophy.
