Me: “How is lexical semantics understood in various paradigns, oneliners”
ChatGPT:
Here are some one-liners that summarize how lexical semantics is understood in various linguistic paradigms:
1. In Generative Grammar, lexical semantics is represented through abstract features and rules that assign meanings to words.
2. In Cognitive Linguistics, lexical semantics is seen as grounded in embodied experience and conceptual structures, and is closely linked to metaphor, metonymy, and image schemas.
3. In Construction Grammar, lexical semantics is seen as part of larger grammatical constructions, which are stored in the mental lexicon as units of meaning.
4. In Functional Linguistics, lexical semantics is analyzed in terms of the semantic categories and features that are used to represent different types of experience and meaning.
5. In Distributional Semantics, lexical semantics is learned from the statistical patterns of co-occurrence between words in large corpora of text.
6. In Pragmatics, lexical semantics is seen as context-dependent and variable, and is analyzed in terms of how meaning is negotiated and co-constructed in social interaction.
