structuring
the lexicon
a clustered Model for near-synonymy
Structuring the Lexicon presents a cognitively
realistic, clustered model for near-synonymy that
explicitly addresses the question of how semantic
knowledge is distributed along the continuum
from grammar to lexicon. Usage-based in nature,
it proposes an innovative approach to quantifying
meaning, while re-appraising traditional semantic
theory and re-evaluating existing accounts of nearsynonymy.

Advances in Cognitive Sociolinguistics brings
together ten studies into the social and conceptual
aspects of language-internal variation. The volume
covers three main areas where Cognitive Linguistics
and sociolinguistics meet: lexical and lexicalsemantic
variation, constructional variation, and
research on lectal attitudes and acquisition. All ten
contributions rely on a firm empirical basis in the
form of advanced corpus-based techniques and/or
experimental methods and survey-based research.
They illustrate how Cognitive Sociolinguistics studies
both the variation of meaning, and the meaning
of variation.
