Description
Time for words. Edited by Janusz Arabski. Frankfurt am Main: Peter Lang Press, 2002. Pp. 275. As recently as a few decades ago there reigned the nonchalant notion that vocabulary was nothing but a disorderly welter of odds and ends. As the editor of the volume Time for words, Janusz Arabski observes, this view has changed dramatically and now the question is approached with the new-found conviction that "the lexicon is more highly structured than was thought before" (p. 7). Indeed, the structured lexicon has recently become a reverenced subject explored seriously from all conceivable angles. This resulted in an evolution which caused lexical studies to diverge into disparate approaches focusing on aspects as varied as lexical memory retention, psycho-analysis-style lexical associations, or the poetic side of word meanings--metaphor. The wealth of approaches and their original nature contribute to our understanding of how the lexicon works and how its potential can be tapped in foreign language teaching. It is in this spirit that the authors present the subject in the volume. Perhaps the only downside of this wealth is that the various topics discussed in Time for words are too many (the volume has 275 pages and 25 articles subsumed under three parts) to be comprehensively summarized in a review. Instead, I have selected the most symbolic examples of the current trends in lexical studies.
