“Utterly content in each other’s company”: Semantic prosody and semantic preference
PARTINGTON, ALAN SCOTT

Abstract
In this paper I examine the two related concepts, fundamental to the nascent discipline of lexical grammar, of semantic prosody and semantic preference. I begin the section on each with a definition, attempt a review of relevant current positions and then describe a number of corpus-based experiments I conducted to throw light on the two phenomena. Finally, I draw some conclusions about the relationship between them.File in questo prodotto:
