| summary | Lexical typology is the systematic study of cross-linguistic variation in words and vocabularies (cf. Koch 2001, Brown 2001, Koptjevskaja-Tamm 2008 and Koptjevskaja-Tamm, Rakhilina, & Vanhove 2015 for overviews), whereas morphology is the study of the internal structure of words. Although both have words as their shared concern, the overlap between the two remains largely implicit. The seminar (partly based on Koptjevskaja-Tamm & Veselinova 2020) will mainly be devoted to one particular aspect of words pertinent to both lexical typology and morphology, namely, how the lexicon is organized in terms of the structurally more basic vs. more complex lexical expressions. Which meanings can be expressed by the structurally more basic vs. more complex lexical items in a language? How do the more complex lexical units look like and how is their meaning distributed across the whole complex expression? Among other things, we will consider to what extent antonymy across languages can involve the opposition between the structurally more basic vs. more complex lexical items (Koptjevskaja-Tamm, Miestamo & Börstell in prep.). |
