Popis: Lexical semantics is concerned with modeling the meaning of lexicalitems. Its leading questions are how forms and meanings combine, what theymean, how they are used, and of course also how they change. The answers tothese five questions make up the fundamental theoretical assumptions and commitments which underlie different theories of lexical semantics, and they form the basis for their various methodological choices. In this chapter, we discuss four main models of lexical meaning: relational, symbolic, conceptual and distributional. The aim is to investigate their historical background, their specific differences, the methodological and theoretical assumptions that lie behind those differences, the main strengths and the main challenges of each perspective.
