The Natural Semantic Metalanguage approach to linguistic meaning [Elektronische Daten] [Uwe Durst] After thirty years of language-internal, as well as cross-linguistic research, the Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) model developed by Anna Wierzbicka and her colleagues has turned out to be a most useful theoretical and methodological framework for semantic analysis in various linguistic, and even non-linguistic, domains. This paper argues that the NSM approach to semantics constitutes a new paradigm in linguistic research which is free from various shortcomings of other semantic frameworks. The first section of this article provides a brief survey of the historical development of NSM theory from the early seventies up to the present stage. Its theoretical and methodological principles are outlined in sections two and three, before its applications in various domains are illustrated in section four by means of examples from a number of languages. © Walter de Gruyter Theoretical Linguistics Walter de Gruyter 29/3(2004-05-25), 157-200 0301-4428 29:3<157 2004 29 thli https://doi.org/10.1515/thli.29.3.157 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1515/thli.29.3.157 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- Durst Uwe 1 University of Erlangen, Germany NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Theoretical Linguistics Walter de Gruyter 29/3(2004-05-25), 157-200 0301-4428 29:3<157 2004 29 thli CC0 http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-gruyter
