Belz, Julie Anne.

Mind, metaphor, and prefix: Evidence for prototype category structure in NHG ver-. - 477 p.

Chair: Thomas F. Shannon.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Berkeley, 1997.

In this dissertation, I assume prototype categories in order to motivate the various senses of NHG ver-, where category membership is defined in terms of family resemblance to a prototypical member.

520 $a In this dissertation, I assume prototype categories in order to motivate the various senses of NHG ver-, where category membership is defined in terms of family resemblance to a prototypical member.
520 $a This dissertation investigates the semantic categorial structure of the inseparable verbal prefix NHG ver-. Prefix semantics has been a murky area of investigation in several regards. First, the extreme semantic ambiguity of prefixes in general complicates the enterprise of detailed sense description. Second, researchers disagree on the number and types of criteria employed in establishing senses. Third, the nature of the similarities and differences between the relation of the prefix to the base and the prefixed derivative to the unprefixed base is poorly understood. Most importantly, sense-relatedness is frequently side-stepped in the pursuit of the former three issues. A semantic analysis of a prefix typically consists of a 'list' of the various senses with appropriate examples, but no attempt is made to relate or motivate the given senses to one another.
520 $a Recent advances in cognitive linguistics, prototype theory, and contemporary metaphor theory have enabled analysts in the field of lexical semantics to shift the emphasis of their investigations from a feature-based exploration of semantic set contrasts across lexemes, where category membership is defined in terms of necessary and sufficient features, to morpheme-internal analyses of multiple meaning-to-form mappings. If we assume classical categories, then we must adopt a homonymy approach to the semantic ambiguity of NHG ver-, where seemingly disparate senses such as 'displacement' (e.g., NHG versetzen 'to move') and 'contact' (e.g., NHG verbinden 'to bind') represent semantically separate but phonologically identical prefixes, since there would be no single matrix of features which could uniquely define these divergent NHG ver-senses. This approach serves to increase arbitrariness in the lexicon: 'diverse' meanings are symbolized by the same form without any apparent semantic relations among them.
520 $a Conceptual metaphor is one of the embodied, cognitively-grounded mechanisms which provides motivation and explanation for sense-relatedness. The variety of 'literal' senses associated with NHG ver- is broad; the pervasiveness of 'metaphorical' NHG ver-senses is even greater. On the basis of a self-collected and transcribed corpus of 1,031 spoken NHG ver-utterances (cf. appendix 1) as well as reference and literary sources, I propose an image schematic semantics for NHG ver- in the form of a polysemy network of related meanings.
