After establishing a theoretical and a methodological framework for his empirical work, David Heise presents the results obtained when meanings are assessed via dictionary definitions, collocates, and word associations. A close comparison of the results reveals that similar outcomes are obtained through each of these three different approaches of defining meaning. The final chapter summarizes the study, considers the benefits and limitations of studying society via language, and applies the results to describing how individuals operate social institutions via their daily social interactions. Aspects of this book will be of interest to social psychologists, sociologists, and linguists.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | | 关键词 | social institutions; social identities; word meanings; dictionary definitions; contextual associations; w | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-03739-0 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-03739-0 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
