Abstract:

Primarily focused on idioms and other figurative phraseology, "Colouring 
Meaning" describes how the meanings of established phrases are enhanced, 
refocused and modified in everyday language use. Unlike many studies of 
creativity in language, this book-length survey addresses the matter at several 
levels, from the purely linguistic level of collocation, through its abstractions in 
colligation and semantic preference, to semantic prosody and connotation. This 
journey through both linguistic and cognitive levels involves the examination of 
habitual language and its exploitations, both mundane and colourful, explaining 
the phenomena observed in terms of current psycholinguistic research as well 
as corpus linguistics theory and analysis. The relationships between meaning in 
text and meaning in the mind are discussed at length and extensively illustrated 
with worked case studies to offer the reader a comprehensive overview of 
metaphorical and other secondary meanings as they emerge in real-world 
communicative situations.

such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These

administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.
