“…For instance, weather verbs have widely been discussed in Germanic (Levin 1993, Bleotu 2012, 2013 and Romance (Beninc a & Cinque 1992, Manente 2007, Paykin 2010, Meulleman & Stockman 2013 languages with respect to their syntactic properties and possible unaccusativity or unergativity. Weather and temperature expressions have also been analyzed in theoretical semantics (Lehrer 1970, Cruse & Togia 1995 and in studies on metaphor (K€ ovecses 1995, Lakoff & Johnson 1999. 3 I employed a similar framework to the study of precipitation constructions in Xhosa (Andrason & Visser (under review)).…”

The present paper offers a comprehensive description of M[eteorological] constructions in Polish and their analysis within a typological framework formulated by Eriksen, Kittilä and Kolehmainen. The article demonstrates the utility of that framework (both with respect to its morpho‐syntactic and semantic distinctions) and corroborates various of its synchronic and diachronic hypotheses. The author also introduces original data that further advance the typology of M constructions. Overall, the evidence reveals great complexity of M constructions, much greater than presented in grammar books on which crosslinguistic studies tend to be subsequently based.

“…It argues that concepts form the ontological basis of lexical knowledge. Conceptual space is structured relative to two types of knowledge structures: content structures and schematic structures (Cruse and Togia 1996;Paradis 1997Paradis , 2001). Content structures involve meaning proper and schematic structures provide various configurational templates.…”

ABSTRACT. The purpose of this paper is to propose a framework of lexical meaning, broadly along the lines of Cognitive Semantics (Langacker 1987a). Within the proposed model, all aspects of meaning are to be explained in terms of properties of ontologies in conceptual space, i.e. properties of content ontologies and schematic ontologies and construals which are imposed on the conceptual structures on the occasion of use. It is through the operations of construals on ontological structures that different readings of lexical expressions arise. Lexical meanings are dynamic and sensitive to contextual demands, rather than fixed and stable. In a dynamic, usagebased model like this, polysemy and multiple readings emerge as a natural consequence of the human ability to think flexibly. Another more specific purpose of this paper is to draw attention to the usefulness of ontologies in linguistic research in general and semantic modelling in particular.
