Suffixal Rivalry in Adjective Formation deals with adjective formation in English, concentrating mainly on adjective pairs that share single roots but end in different suffixes. Theoretically, the book adopts Cognitive Semantics and attempts to substantiate three of its tenets. In view of the category tenet, the book considers adjectival suffixes polysemous in character, comprising multiple senses which gather around typical examples. By virtue of the domain tenet, the book regards the adjectival suffixes distinctive in use, partaking in similar sets but differing in minute details. In light of the construal tenet, the book rates the adjective pairs distinguishable in meaning, differing in the alternate ways the speaker describes their common roots. Empirically, the book adopts Corpus Linguistics. Making use of its effective techniques, this book identifies the discriminating collocates associated with the members of adjective pairs, helping to confirm the subtle differences in meaning between them.

Paperback. Condizione: New. This book deals with adjectival suffixes in English. Its scope of analysis is confined to the formation of adjective pairs that share a single root but end in different suffixes. Theoretically, the book adopts cognitive semantics and attempts to substantiate some of its tenets. One tenet is that a linguistic item is polysemous by nature. On this basis, the goal is to show that an adjectival suffix forms a category consisting of multiple senses, which gather around a centre. Another tenet is that the meaning of a linguistic item is described relative to the domain of knowledge to which it belongs. In this respect, the goal is to group the adjectival suffixes into sets, where they stand for one concept but differ in the specifics. A further tenet is that the use of a linguistic item is governed by the particular construal imposed on its content. In this regard, the goal is show that no two adjectives are synonymous even if they share the same root or look similar. They differ, as evidenced by corpus data, in terms of the alternate ways the speaker construes their common root.Empirically, the book adopts corpus linguistics, which helps to identify the distinctive collocates associated with the members of an adjective pair and, consequently, reveals the subtle differences in meaning between them.
