| summary | Pragmatic processes that modulate word meaning in context may result in a concept which is narrower or broader than the encoded lexical concept. It has been suggested that the understanding of metaphorical uses of words can be subsumed into a general account of such lexical pragmatic processes. However, many metaphorical uses have the special property of giving rise to what are known as ‘emergent features’ of meaning and this presents a challenge to the attempt to develop a unified account. |
