THE LEXICON_ENCYCLOPEDIA INTERFACE Edited by B. Peeters, University of Tasmania Volume 5 in the Current Research in the Semantics/Pragmatics Interface Book Series ISBN: 0-08-043591-2 * Hardbound * 508 pages * NLG 201.00 (euro 91.21) USD 102.00

Questions about the exact nature of linguistic as opposed to non-linguistic knowledge have been asked for as long as humans have studied language, be it as linguists, philosophers, psychologists, language teachers, semioticians or cognitive scientists. This distinction has been maintained and defended by some, attacked and abandoned by others. Through specially commissioned papers for this, the fifth volume in the CRiSPI series, contributors argue both for and against the distinction between lexical knowledge and encyclopedic knowledge and debate how it should be drawn.

AUDIENCE:

Interdisciplinary, but particularly recommended for linguists involved in lexical semantics.

REVIEW: 'A trenchant discussion of what is now felt as one of the most exciting problems of natural language semantics and pragmatics, namely the possibility of separating questions of meaning from questions of factual knowledge.' Jaroslav Peregrin, Academy of Sciences, Prague, Czech Republic
