NSM without the Strong Lexicalization Hypothesis [Elektronische Daten] [Jürgen Bohnemeyer] I would like to begin by briefly reviewing the assumptions and hypotheses the NSM approach is based on. The goal of this exercise is to understand how these are interrelated, what hinges on every one of them, and what consequences arise from discarding an assumption or disproving a hypothesis. This process defines a number of projects which all agree up to some point and then depart. Prima facie, all of these constitute legitimate avenues of inquiry. My aim is to evaluate the decisions made within the NSM program vis-à-vis these alternatives, and to do so from a particular perspective - that of a field worker dedicated to the study of semantics in Non-Indo-European languages and of a semantic typologist interested in variation and universals of semantic representations across languages. It should be clear from the outset that NSM has made contributions to the crosslinguistic perspective in semantics unsurpassed by those of any other framework (in particular, Goddard & Wierzbicka (eds.) 1994, 2002; Goddard (ed.) 1997) - so my interest should not come as a surprise. © Walter de Gruyter Theoretical Linguistics Walter de Gruyter 29/3(2004-05-25), 211-222 0301-4428 29:3<211 2004 29 thli https://doi.org/10.1515/thli.29.3.211 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1515/thli.29.3.211 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- Bohnemeyer Jürgen 1 University at Buffalo - SUNY NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Theoretical Linguistics Walter de Gruyter 29/3(2004-05-25), 211-222 0301-4428 29:3<211 2004 29 thli CC0 http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-gruyter
