Book Synopsis Reciprocals and Semantic Typology by : Nicholas Evans
Book excerpt: Is there a single, Platonic 'reciprocal' meaning found in all languages, or is there a cluster of related concepts which are nonetheless impossible to characterize in any single way? This title develops and explains techniques for tackling this question. It confronts a general problem facing semantic typology.
