Résumé
This volume is a collection of original contributions from
outstanding scholars in linguistics, philosophy and
computational linguistics exploring the relation between
word meaning and human linguistic creativity. The papers
present different aspects surrounding the question of what
is word meaning, a problem that has been the center of
heated debate in all those disciplines that directly or
indirectly are concerned with the study of language and of
human cognition. The discussions are centered around the
newly emerging view of the mental lexicon, as outlined in
the Generative Lexicon theory (Pustejovsky, 1995), which
proposes a unified model for defining word meaning. The
individual contributors present their evidence for a
generative approach as well as critical perspectives, which
provides for a volume where word meaning is not viewed only
from a particular angle or from a particular concern, but
from a wide variety of topics, each introduced and
explained by the editors.
