Cross-Linguistic and Language-Specific Aspects of Semantic Prosody.
Lewandowska-Tomaszczyk, Barbara
Language Sciences, v18 n1-2 p153-78 Jan-Apr 1996
Suggests that cognitive semantics is governed by principles similar to prosodies in phonology. Illustrates this claim by words referring to negative states, events, and properties in English and in Polish, arguing that they carry 'negative prosodies' that spread over other lexical items. It is suggested that the semantic prosodies of some triggers exhibit a universal character. (25 references) (Author/CK)
