Semantic Relations and the Lexicon: Antonymy, Synonymy and other Paradigms - Hardcover
This book explores how some word meanings are paradigmatically related to each other, for example, as opposites or synonyms, and how they relate to the mental organization of our vocabularies. Traditional approaches claim that such relationships are part of our lexical knowledge (our "dictionary" of mentally stored words) but Lynne Murphy argues that lexical relationships actually constitute our "metalinguistic" knowledge. The book draws on a century of previous research, including word association experiments, child language, and the use of synonyms and antonyms in text.

Book Description:
This book explores how some word meanings are paradigmatically related to each other, for example as opposites or synonyms, and what these say about the mental organization of our vocabularies. Traditional approaches claim that such relations are part of our lexical knowledge (our 'dictionary' of mentally stored words); however Lynne Murphy takes a new, pragmatic approach, arguing that lexical relations in fact consitute our 'metalinguistic' knowledge. The book draws on a century of previous research, including word association experiments, child language, and the use of synonyms and atonyms in text.
About the Author:
M. Lynne Murphy is Lecturer in Linguistics at the School of Cognitive and Computing Sciences, University of Sussex
