Description

Mika Shindo's Semantic Extension, Subjectification, and Verbalization focuses on semantic extensions of sensory adjectives originating in perception. The aims of this book are to provide systematic accounts of semantic extensions of sensory adjectives from a cognitive perspective, and to document the validity of an empirical approach, using panchronic and corpus-based methods. Review Dr. Shindo sheds welcome light on how pairs of terms like clear and bright or flat and plain that originally had similar sense-perception meanings developed significantly differentiated abstract, cognitive meanings. Her discussion of objective and subjective construals and of conversion of adjectives to verbs adds valuable dimensions to work on metaphor and schema-extension in semantic change from a cognitive linguistic perspective.--Elizabeth Closs Traugott, professor emerita, Stanford University About the Author Mika Shindo holds a Ph.D. in Cognitive Linguistics from Kyoto University. Her corpus research enables empirical diachronic analysis of semantic change. She has been a researcher at Japan's National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, and Visiting Scholar at Stanford University's Linguistics Department. She lectures on English at Kyoto University and other universities in the Kyoto area.
