Semantic Primes within and across Languages

Cliff Goddard

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › Research

Abstract

The chapter adopts the standpoint of the Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) theory, originated by Anna Wierzbicka (1972, 1980, 1988, 1992, 1996). It outlines how semantic primes have been identified within and across languages, over several decades of empirical research, and how they can be used as a tool in lexical and grammatical typology and contrastive linguistics.
