Spatial Concepts in Wide and Broad
Original language description
Representation of extralinguistic space in grammars and lexicons of languages has been studied by linguists for several decades. This study reports the results of a detailed analysis of two (arguably synonymous) expressions that English speakers use to talk about one of the spatial dimensions - wide and broad. Examples were retrieved from four small corpora (Brown, Frown, LOB, FLOB) and the BNC and taxonomised with a view to certain spatial concepts. It was argued that the difference between the two synonyms is one of perspective, crucial to which is the notion of boundaries, used in cognitive frameworks. The study is a contribution to the field of lexical semantics.
