Conceptual Structure in Lexical Items; Editorial page; Title page; LCC data; Table of contents; Acknowledgements; Abbreviations and typographical conventions; 1. Introduction; 2. Ordering systems for concepts of communication; 3. Lexical gaps; 4. Concepts of communication lexicalised by idioms and collocations; 5.

Summary: This volume deals with the occurrence of lexical gaps in the domain of linguistic action verbs. Though these constitute a considerable proportion of the verb inventory of many languages, not all concepts of verbal communication may be expressed by lexical items in any particular one of them. Introducing a conceptual system which allows gaps to be searched for systematically, this study shows which concepts of verbal communication are and which are not lexicalised in English, German and Dutch. The lexicalisation patterns observed shed light on the way in which verbal behaviour is conceptualised.
