Abstract:

What is the lexicon, what does it contain, and how is it structured? What
principles determine the functioning of the lexicon as a component of natural
language grammar? What role does lexical information play in linguistic
theory? This accessible introduction aims to answer these questions, and
explores the relation of the lexicon to grammar as a whole. It includes a
critical overview of major theoretical frameworks, and puts forward a unified
treatment of lexical structure and design. The text can be used for
introductory and advanced courses, and for courses that touch upon different
aspects of the lexicon, such as lexical semantics, lexicography, syntax,
general linguistics, computational lexicology and ontology design. The book
provides students with a set of tools which will enable them to work with
lexical data for all kinds of purposes, including an abundance of exercises
and in-class activities designed to ensure that students are actively engaged
with the content and effectively acquire the necessary knowledge and skills
they need.
