Abstract
The course is designed for students of linguistic programs (BA, MA, PhD), as well as for teachers and researchers in the named field. The course contains the overview of different approaches to the semantic description of lexical items and lexical systems in different languages and discusses the methodology of Moscow Lexical Typology Group (lecture 1). This methodology (“frame approach”) is illustrated with the data of the following domains: aquamotion verbs (lecture 2), verbs of falling (lecture 3), adjectives denoting oldness (lecture 4) and pain metaphors (lecture 5 and 6). The results of the analyses are visualized with specially constructed lexical semantic maps.
Learning Objectives

Expected Learning Outcomes
- Can apply the basic methods of the analysis of lexical meaning to different lexical domains
- Knows the basic principles of lexical organization, the main parameters of semantic variations in lexicon
Course Contents
- Towards language universals through lexical semantics:introduction to lexical and semantic typology
