General Syntactic Principles and Lexical Semantic Shift: Imagery – Topology Hypothesis

This research endeavors to develop comprehensive models for both syntactic construction and lexical semantic structures, grounded in the imagery-topology hypothesis. It delves into traditional complexities of lexicon and syntax, focusing on the dynamics of lexical semantic shifts and fundamental syntactic principles. This involves a meticulous corpus analysis, examining cross-linguistic lexical variations within the 'taste' semantic field and sentence structures. The findings suggest a broad consistency in sentence structures across languages, though marked syntactic variations arise from differing sentence container markers. The study's lexical semantic structure model reveals that basic and non-basic lexical meanings emerge from an interplay of physical, cultural, and individual dimensions. A comparative cognitive scale is instrumental in this model, particularly in clarifying semantic relationships against diverse cultural backdrop profiles. © 2024, Playscript. All rights reserved.
