Opis

Lexical Conflict combines theoretical and applied linguistic perspectives to explore the lexical richness of over 100 world languages. The text systematises cross-linguistic and cross-cultural differences, and then formulates strategies of lexicographic treatment across these differences, building a foundation for the establishment of similar solutions in other branches of applied linguistics.

Recenzje

'A wonderful homage to linguistic diversity and an admirable feat of reconciling language-specific idiosyncracies and cross-linguistic generalizations.' Hans-Jörg Schmid, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munchen
