Linguistic Categorization

"Linguistic Categorization provides a readable and clearly articulated introduction to the field of Cognitive Linguistics. It explores the far-reaching implications of Eleanor Rosch's seminal work on categorization and prototype theory, extending the application of the prototype concept from lexical semantics to morphology, syntax, and phonology." "This third edition is fully revised and updated to reflect recent developments in Cognitive Linguistics. It offers new perspectives on polysemy and the problem of meaning relatedness, as well as expanding the discussion of constructions and syntactic categories."--BOOK JACKET.
