Item description from seller

Hardcover, vi + 252 pages, NOT ex-library. Book is clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This volume examines lexical borrowing from onomasiological, usage-based, methodological, and phraseological perspectives. The studies investigate how words are borrowed between languages, the factors that determine their success, and the semantic changes they undergo after adoption. The chapters explore a range of topics including the borrowability of English catchphrases in Dutch, the integration and frequency of Maori loanwords in New Zealand English, gender assignment in bilingual noun phrases, the use of English loanwords in Portuguese and Nordic contexts, and experimental approaches to how loanwords are perceived in job advertisements. Emphasis is placed on empirical, corpus-driven, and cognitive approaches to language contact. The book is academically significant for bridging onomasiology with usage-based linguistics, offering new methodological tools for analysing borrowability and the real-world integration of loanwords across different linguistic communities. -- Contents: Introduction: Onomasiological, Methodological and Phraseological Perspectives on Lexical Borrowing; A Usage-based Approach to Borrowability / Ad Backus; What Makes a Catchphrase Catchy? Possible Determinants in the Borrowability of English Catchphrases in Dutch / Eline Zenner, Dirk Speelman & Dirk Geeraerts; Formal Variance and Semantic Changes in Borrowing: Integrating Semasiology and Onomasiology / Esme Winter-Froemel; Measuring and Comparing the Use and Success of Loanwords in Portugal and Brazil: A Corpus-based and Concept-based Sociolectometrical Approach / Augusto Soares da Silva; Comparing the Usage of Maori Loans in Spoken and Written New Zealand English: A Case Study of Maori, Pakeha, and Kiwi / Alexander Onysko & Andreea Calude; English Loanwords and Their Counterparts in Dutch Job Advertisements: An Experimental Study in Association Overlap / Frank van Meurs, Jos Hornikx & Gerben Bossenbroek; On the Variation of Gender in Nominal Language Mixings / Astrid Rothe; Linguistic Globalization: Experiences from the Nordic Laboratory / Helge Sandoy; Index.…
