Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Lexical Variation and Knowledge Construction across Historical, Methodological, and Cultural Ecologies provides a comprehensive examination of the intricate interplay between language and knowledge, viewing words not as mere vessels but as dynamic agents that sculpt our understanding of the world. Contributions of leading scholars from linguistics, lexicography, and related disciplines are presented in a tripartite structure -historical, methodological, and sociocultural-, illustrating how this interplay unfolds across diverse contexts, from the depths of historical lexicography to methodological innovation and sociocultural analyses of language and identity. Drawing on a wide range of data sources and analytical frameworks, its multidimensional perspective on the interaction between language and cognition makes this book a crucial resource for both scholars and learners, inviting readers to rethink the very foundations of how we communicate and understand our reality.
