This book presents a lexico-typological study of several domains of physical qualities: ‘sharp’/‘blunt’, ‘wet’, ‘empty’/‘full’, ‘old’, as well as dimensions temperature and surface texture. It discusses several theoretical issues including intragenetic language sampling, the possibility of signed vs. spoken language comparison at the lexicon level, and the potential of applying computational models of distributional semantics to lexical typology.

The article compares the qualities ‘sharp’ and 'blunt' in 20 languages. We show that they tend to be unequal, with bluntness being negatively defined through sharpness. The two main oppositions in the domain are 1) the type of sharp object, and 2) the sense through which the quality is primarily experienced. The first opposition divides ...

The paper focuses on the lexical typology of dimensional terms such as English long, deep, wide, etc. Compared to other semantic fields, this one is relatively well-studied; however, the present study is the first to approach it from the modern typological point of view. We propose a semantic map of dimensional terms, which outlines the possible and impossible ...

The article studies the domain of wetness in 20 languages. In many of them
the domain features two main words (e.g. German nass, feucht; Mongolian nojton,
čijgleg; Moksha načkə, l’et’kə) and the difference between them tends to
be described in terms of degree, i.e. ‘intensely’ versus ‘slightly wet’. Typological
analysis shows that in each case the degree of humidity ...

Based on the material from Slavic languages, the article presents a corpus analysis of adjectives describing the physical quality of “being clean or pure,” as well as the related situations of “being transparent/ clear” (as regards the sky). Slavic data are viewed from a broader typological perspective, which makes it possible to assess the degree ...

The paper examines the semantic domain of ‘pushing’ on the material of 8 Slavic languages. We focus on the cases where the zone of caused motion intersects with adjacent fields. The analysis shows that lexical contiguity occurs at two levels. First, at a synchronic level: lexemes that refer to a caused motion event may also cover ...

The paper outlines the basics of data collection, analysis and visualization under the frame-based approach to lexical typology and illustrates its methodology using the data of cross-linguistic research on verbs of falling. The framework reveals several challenges to semantic map modelling that usually escape researchers’ attention. These are: (1) principles of establishing lexical comparative concepts; (2) ...

This paper extends the scope of application of the semantic map model to diachronic lexical semantics. Combining a quantitative approach to large-scale synchronic polysemy data with a qualitative evaluation of the diachronic material in two text languages, ancient Egyptian and ancient Greek, it shows that weighted diachronic semantic maps can capture informative generalizations about the ...

This paper investigates the use of the Russian verb padat’ ‘to fall’ and its quasi-synonyms. Padat’ is dominant in the system of Russian predicates of falling — and therefore should be suitable for describing any type of uncontrolled downward motion. However, in a number of contexts a diff erent means of expression is required. These ...

В статье обсуждается методика, позволяющая частично автоматизировать анализ материала для лексико-типологического исследования. Одной из основных задач при сопоставительном изучении семантического поля является обнаружение таких значений, для которых наблюдаются разные стратегии кодирования в различных языках (ср. значение ‘характеризующийся повышенной влажностью’: в русском его выражение зависит от описываемых температурных условий – влажный vs. сырой, в немецком в ...

The paper considers metaphoric extensions of the West-Circassian (Adyghe) verbs of falling ‑fe- ‘fall’, wəḳʷerejə- ‘topple’, -zə- ‘detach’, zexeteqʷe- / zexezə- / zexefe- / zexewe- ‘crumple’ in typological perspective. The present analysis of metaphoric meanings is drawn on the frame-based approach to lexical typology created by the Moscow lexical typology group (MLexT): all semantic shifts ...

This article presents some results of cross-linguistic research on verbs of pushing and pulling in nine Slavic languages. These data call into question the traditional notion of the semantic field as a clear-cut class of lexical units. It is shown that, due to semantic adjacency, fields may overlap, so that in different languages the same ...

This paper deals with the typology of surface texture expressions, such as, for example, English a slippery road, a smooth wooden board, rough hands, coarse or rough fabric, etc. We discuss both their direct uses like those mentioned above and metaphors formed on their basis, such as English a slippery person, a smooth speech, a ...

The crucial parameter for the semantic field of oscillation is whether the situation meets the human needs and expectations: Hindi has a verb reserved for the oscillation of special devices such as a swing or a cradle; Tomo-kan, on the contrary, lexicalizes the type of oscillation that indicates some disfunctionality of an artifact. Two more ...

Лексическая типология – область лингвистики, которая занимается сопоставительным анализом значений слов в разных языках, – на сегодняшний день добилась больших успехов: разработаны методики сбора и анализа материала, описан целый ряд семантических полей. Однако некоторые методологические ограничения по-прежнему не преодолены: процесс сбора данных очень трудоемок, что сказывается либо на объемах и представительности языковых выборок, либо на ...

The article examines the relationship between time and space in language on the basis of adjectives denoting high or low speed in Russian and other (mostly Slavic) languages. In physics the notion of speed is defined in terms of time and space (distance per time unit). It is argued, however, that speed in natural language ...

Temperature phenomena are universal, relatively easily perceptible by humans and crucial for them, but their conceptualisation involves a complex interplay between external reality, bodily experience and evaluation of the relevant properties with regard to their functions in the human life. The meanings of temperature terms are, thus, both embodied and perspectival. Rather than reflecting the ...
