Prototype theory makes a crucial distinction between central and peripheral sense of words. Geeraerts explores the implications of this model for a theory of semantic change, in the first full-scale treatment of the impact of the most recent developments in lexicological theory on the study of meaning change. He identifies structural features of the development of word meanings which follow from a prototype-theoretical model of semantic structure, and incorporates these diachronic prototypicality effects into a theory of meaning change.

Over the past decade, Cognitive Linguistics has grown to be one of the most broadly appealing and dynamic frameworks for the study of natural language.

Theories of Lexical Semantics offers a comprehensive overview of the major traditions of word meaning research in linguistics. In spite of the growing importance of the lexicon in linguistic theory, no overview of the main theoretical trends in lexical semantics is currently available. This book fills that gap by charting the evolution of the discipline from the mid nineteenth century to the present day. It presents the main ideas, the landmark publications, and the dominant figures of five traditions: historical-philological semantics, structuralist semantics, generativist semantics, neostru

The Raabe Society Yearbook was founded in 1960, and since its 30th volume (1989) has been published by Max Niemeyer publishers in Tübingen. It not only provides a forum for specialists working on the extraordinarily extensive narrative writings of Wilhelm Raabe himself (18311910) but has also developed as a conduit for general work on German Realism. Each volume contains papers and miscellaneous articles, a review section and an annual bibliography of the latest research in Raabe studies. The language of publication is German.
