{"product_id":"linguistic-profiles-julia-kuznetsova-9783110355536","title":"Linguistic Profiles: Going from Form to Meaning Via Statistics","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe monograph investigates the relationship between form and meaning in different domains and centers on a group of methods referred to as \"linguistic profiles\" that have been developed recently by researchers at the University of Troms . These methods are based on the observation that there is a strong correlation between semantic and distributional properties of linguistic units. This book discusses grammatical, semantic, constructional, collostructional and diachronic profiles. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003eLinguistic profiles as a group of methods are based on recent developments in the area of cognitive and functional linguistics: 1) form in language always has a relation to meaning, 2) a categorical approach to language is replaced with an understanding of language as a gradient phenomenon, which is investigated via statistics, 3) grammar is seen as a usage-based phenomenon. \u003cbr\u003eThroughout the book we see that each of the profiles determines a correlation between certain forms and certain meanings. By studying the distribution of different forms we can uncover the semantic restrictions standing behind them. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julia Kuznetsova\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110355531\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110355536\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter Mouton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/14\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Julia Kuznetsova","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46372479009023,"sku":"9783110355536","price":144.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_96b72391-8519-47d6-a343-201448bba346.jpg?v=1732726055","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/linguistic-profiles-julia-kuznetsova-9783110355536","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
