Abstract:

This book presents a collection of chapters on the nature, flexibility and
acquisition of lexical categories. These long-debated issues are looked at
anew by exploring the hypothesis of lexical polycategoriality –according to
which lexical forms are not fully, or univocally, specified for lexical
category– in a wide number of unrelated languages, and within different
theoretical and methodological perspectives. Twenty languages are thoroughly
analyzed. Apart from French, Arabic and Hebrew, the volume includes mostly
understudied languages, spoken in New Guinea, Australia, New Caledonia,
Amazonia, Meso- and North America. Resulting from a long-standing
collaboration between leading international experts, this book brings under
one cover new data analyses and results on word categories from the linguistic
and acquisitional point of view. It will be of the utmost interest to
researchers, teachers and graduate students in different fields of linguistics
(morpho-syntax, semantics, typology), language acquisition, as well as
psycholinguistics, cognition and anthropology.
