These methods are based on the observation that there is a strong correlation between semantic and distributional properties of linguistic units. This book discusses grammatical, semantic, constructional, collostructional and diachronic profiles. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLinguistic profiles as a group of methods are based on recent developments in the area of cognitive and functional linguistics: 1) form in language always has a relation to meaning, 2) a categorical approach to language is replaced with an understanding of language as a gradient phenomenon, which is investigated via statistics, 3) grammar is seen as a usage-based phenomenon. \u003cbr\u003eThroughout the book we see that each of the profiles determines a correlation between certain forms and certain meanings. By studying the distribution of different forms we can uncover the semantic restrictions standing behind them. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Julia Kuznetsova","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48261586026747,"sku":"9783110355536","price":160.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_e4fe3775-9cf2-42ac-be76-11c6bc106637.jpg?v=1778451767","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/linguistic-profiles-9783110355536","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
