Abstract:

This book presents an innovative approach to linguistic semantics, starting
from the idea that language is a mechanism for the expression of linguistic
meanings as particular surface forms (texts). Semantics is 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 terms of Meaning-Text linguistics, this volume
discusses the Deep-Syntactic Representation and the transition from Semantics
to Deep-Syntax via Semantic paraphrasing (the equivalence amongst Semantic
Representations), Deep-Syntactic paraphrasing (the equivalence amongst
Deep-Syntactic Representations), and the passage between the two. A chapter is
dedicated to the Explanatory Combinatorial Dictionary, a semantically based
and co-occurrence-centered lexicon. Reflecting the author’s life-long
dedication to semantics and syntax, this book is a paradigm-shifting
contribution to language studies whose originality and daring will make it
essential reading for linguists, anthropologists, semioticians, and
computational linguists.
