詞彙語意學 - 103學年度
本課程是由 國立陽明交通大學外國語文學系 提供。
This course is designed to introduce students to the fascinating field of lexical semantics, the study of the interaction of syntactic behavior and semantic properties. Lexical semantics can be approached from different perspectives with different concerns and the class is meant to introduce all major approaches that have shed important light on the study of lexical knowledge and representations.
Lectures and class discussions will focus on the major theoretical frameworks and their applications. In the course of 18 weeks, 12 major approaches will be introduced:
1. Syntax-lexical semantic interface: Argument structure (B. Levin)
2. Prototype Theory (Dowty)
3. Construction Grammar (A. Goldberg)
4. Conceptual semantics (R. Jackendoff)
5. Frame Semantics (C. Fillmore)
6. Cognitive semantics and configuration (Langnacker)
7. Cognitive Semantics and lexicalization (L. Talmy)
8. Cognitive Semantics and metaphorical extension (G. Lakoff)
9. Generative Lexicon (J. Pustejovsky)
10. Grammaticalization and Semantic change (E. Traugott and J. Bybee)
11. Corpus linguistics (D. Biber)
12. Emergent Grammar (P. Hopper)
Each theoretical framework will be illustrated with representative papers that show the basic constructs of the theory and how the approach can be applied to the analysis of a linguistic issue. After the theories are introduced, a few case studies will be included to show how recent works on Mandarin lexical semantics have advanced and how the project on the construction of Mandarin VerbNet has progressed. The ultimate goal of this class is to provide students with a broad range of background knowledge that will enable the students to carry out meaningful research in lexical semantics.
