Fifty years on, polysemy has become one of the hottest topics in linguistics and in the cognitive sciences at large. The book deals with the topic from a wide variety of viewpoints. The cognitive approach is supplemented and supported by diachronic, psycholinguistic, developmental, comparative, and computational perspectives. The chapters, written by some of the most eminent specialists in the field, are all underpinned by detailed discussions of methodology and theory UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110895698 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9783110895698 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9783110895698/original ER -
