Borrowing With Interest: Aspect Semantics View of Language Extension and Expansion
نویسنده
چکیده
Identifying aspect semantics as study of linguistic life of concepts, this paper describes various paths by which language extends and grows. At the center of this approach are such notions as an aspect of a class of concepts and a spectrum of aspects of a concept. Three different paths are described: Cognitive Modification, Cognitive Expansion and Cognitive Extension and rules formalizing these processes are introduced.

متن کاملApplication of Frame Semantics to Teaching Seeing and Hearing Vocabulary to Iranian EFL Learners
A term in one language rarely has an absolute synonymous meaning in the same language; besides, it rarely has an equivalent meaning in an L2.
