The Lexicon provides an introduction to the study of words, their main properties, and how we use them to create meaning. It offers a detailed description of the organizing principles of the lexicon, and of the categories used to classify a wide range of lexical phenomena, including polysemy, meaning variation in composition, and the interplay with ontology, syntax, and pragmatics. Elisabetta Je%zek uses empirical data from digitalized corpora and speakers' judgements, combined with the formalisms developed in the field of general and theoretical linguistics, to propose representations for each of these phenomena. The key feature of the book is that it merges theoretical accounts with lexicographic approaches and computational insights. Its clear structure and accessible approach make The Lexicon an ideal textbook for all students of linguistics--theoretical, applied, and computational--and a valuable resource for scholars and students of language in the fields of cognitive science and philosophy.

Reviews for The Lexicon: An Introduction

What any reader cannot fail to appreciate though, whether they be a layperson or a specialist, is the clarity of the lines of reasoning, which are all the easier to follow as main didactic tools are provided besides the lucid definitions given to words in bold type ... a really interesting work in a field which has undergone radical changes in the past few years and cannot fail to attract an increasingly higher number of researchers, who now have new methods at their disposal * Cathy Parc, Lexis *
