| summary | Contact lexico-semantics and areal lexico-semantics (Ameka & Wilkins 1996, Koptjevskaja-Tamm & Liljegren 2017, Schapper, Koptjevskaja-Tamm & Ameka (eds.) 2022) are concerned with the diffusion of semantic features across language boundaries rather than with lexical borrowing. Lexico-semantic phenomena have, with a few exceptions (e.g. Matisoff 2004, Enfield 2003, Smith-Stark 1994, Hayward 1991, 2000), received remarkably little attention from areal linguistics and areal typology, as opposed to morpho-syntactic and phonological features. The seminar will focus on various approaches to the study of areal patterns in polysemy (colexification) and lexical motivation. Among other things, we will discuss to what extent cross-linguistic lexical databases can be used to gain a better understanding of global patterns of lexical organization and of their areal distributions (following Gast & Koptjevskaja-Tamm 2018, 2022). |
