About fifty years ago, Stephen Ullmann wrote that polysemy is
'the pivot of semantic analysis'. Fifty years on, polysemy
has become one of the hottest topics in linguistics and in the
cognitive sciences at large. The book deals with the topic from a
wide variety of viewpoints. The cognitive approach is supplemented
and supported by diachronic, psycholinguistic, developmental,
comparative, and computational perspectives. The chapters, written
by some of the most eminent specialists in the field, are all
underpinned by detailed discussions of methodology and theory.
