Description
Structuring the Lexicon presents a cognitively realistic, clustered model for near-synonymy that explicitly addresses the question of how semantic knowledge is distributed along the continuum from grammar to lexicon. Usage-based in nature, it proposes an innovative approach to quantifying meaning, while re-appraising traditional semantic theory and re-evaluating existing accounts of near-synonymy.
