Papers are in sections on theories and models, descriptive categories, and case studies, and examine areas such as cognitive and structural semantics, diachronic prototype semantics, synecdoche as a cognitive and communicative strategy, and intensifiers as targets and sources of semantic change. |

| Publisher Description: The goal of this book is to reflect on a long-overdue dialogue between academics of two apparently incompatible bases of research: the fields of cognitive linguistics and historical linguistics. The basis of the collected volume was that the predominantly practical-based area of historical linguistics will profit from theoretical input, just as cognitive linguistics reserach will be stimulated by the more practical perspective provided by historical linguistics. The result is this publication, the first of its kind to reflect such an overwhelming mutual feedback. |
