Kognitive romanische Onomasiologie und Semasiologie

With reference to problems of lexis and grammar in the Romance languages and of metalinguistics in general, the articles collected in this volume demonstrate that in their complementarity the onomasiological and semasiological perspectives represent indispensable points of reference in any form of linguistics regarding itself as 'cognitive'. With some slight differences in perspective, the articles discuss issues posed by synchronic and diachronic lexicology and grammar, analyzing selected conceptual and functional areas in detail and casting light on problems of grammatology and the conceptualization of language.
