No detailed description available for "A Componential Analysis of Meaning".
This book presents the first computer program automating the task of componential analysis of kinship vocabularies. The book examines the program in relation to two basic problems: the commonly occurring inconsistency of componential models; and the huge number of alternative componential models.
Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 3, University of Hamburg (Anglistik, Amerikanistik), course: Word Meaning-Sentence Meaning-Utterance Meaning, language: English, abstract: This work analyses the components of the lexicon, specifically the decomposition of the verb.
The aim of this essay is to present a phonological analysis of Lushai, a Tibeto-Burman language spoken in the Mizoram province of India, in terms of componential features applying as mutation rules to the morphophonological level. An analysis of this nature becomes possible if the concepts of phonological extension systems and redundancy-free representations are introduced. Alongside with the phonemic aspect, a semantic analysis of morpheme structure is required yielding the smallest significant units at different morphological or syntactic levels. Though based on criteria implying concepts like 'rule', 'underlying representation', and so forth, of the standard theory of generative phonology, this essay tries to implement the concepts of 'phoneme' on the phonemic, and of 'morphophoneme' on the morphophonological levels, and to bring about a methodologically sound classification of phonological rules.
Literary data is supposed to reflect real life situations and is at the same time written in a style of writing that is considered as highly elevated. Such reasons have prompted the contributors to this book to deal with this type of data. Such attempts range from semantics to stylistics and pragmatics. This book introduces linguistic analyses of literary data from different points of view. This involves dealing with various linguistic topics and different types of literary data. Hence, many models are presented to analyze the linguistic aspects of those topics in the light of the genre in which those topics are undertaken. Accordingly, different results are yielded from those analyses and this makes each type of analysis distinct from the other ones. It is hoped that this work will be a useful source to all those – whether theoretically, practically, or both – interested in linguistics, pragmatics of literature, applied linguistics and literary stylistics.
