Editorial Reviews

Gives an account of the English verbal lexicon which not only systematizes the meanings of lexemes within a hierarchical framework, but also demonstrates the principled connections between meaning and highlights the syntactic complementation patterns of verbs and the patterns of conceptualization in the human mind. Explains lexical patterning and its relationship with meaning, syntax, and cognition. Coverage includes the lexicon and linguistic theory, Simon Dik's functional grammar, lexical organization and the FLM, a semantic syntax, and the cognitive axis. Annotation c.
