Dieses Buch präsentiert eine synchrone und diachrone Analyse der Semantik von zwei englischen Derivationsaffixen, -age und -ery, auf der Basis von Korpus- und Wörterbuchdaten. Es stellt außerdem eine neue Visualisierungsmethode vor, die die semantische Analyse von Derivaten unterstützt. Durch ein adaptiertes semantic map model können die Beziehungen zwischen den einzelnen Lesarten polysemer Derivate sichtbar gemacht werden. Dies hebt die Komplexität dieser Beziehungen hervor, zeigt aber auch Regularitäten auf.
This book presents a synchronic and diachronic investigation of two derivational English affixes. The suffixes -age and -ery are analysed on the basis of dictionary and corpus data and an adapted semantic map method is introduced as a new way of accounting for the semantic structure of derivatives. This study shows that the semantic structure of morphological categories can change signi ficantly over time, and that semantic maps can represent this change in a straightforward manner. The semantic maps visualise the relations and interdependencies of the readings expressed by derivatives, which leads to a new understanding of the semantic complexity of these categories.

This book is a thorough investigation of the semantics of two derivational affixes in English. The semantic structure of -age and -ery derivatives is analysed synchronically, on the basis of corpus data from the British National Corpus (BNC), and diachronically, on the basis of dictionary data from the Oxford English Dictionary (OED). To do this, the book introduces a new way of accounting for the semantic structure of derivational affixes: an adapted semantic map method. The study shows that the semantic structure of morphological categories can change significantly in a relatively short period of time, and that semantic maps can represent this change in a straightforward and accurate manner. They visualise the relations and interdependencies of the readings expressed by derivatives, which leads to a new understanding of the semantic complexity of these categories but also highlights recurring polysemies.
