    OUP Oxford 2008; US$ 45.00

    Juri Apresjan unites theoretical linguistics and lexicography to produce a series of dazzling insights into lexical analysis which will be of equal interest to lexicologists, lexicographers, and those concerned with semantic and lexical theory. - ;This book unites lexicography with theoretical linguistics.

The author presents the vocabulary... more...
