More about the book

Focusing on the formation of adjective pairs with shared roots but different suffixes, this book employs Cognitive Semantics to explore the polysemous nature of linguistic items. It aims to categorize adjectival suffixes by their meanings, demonstrating how they represent a single concept with nuanced differences. The analysis reveals that no two adjectives are synonymous, despite similar appearances, as their meanings are shaped by context and speaker interpretation. Utilizing Corpus Linguistics, the book identifies unique collocates that highlight subtle distinctions in meaning among adjectives.
