The course gives in-depth insight into various theories of semantics with an emphasis on cognitive semantics. The internal structure of the mental lexicon is studied, in which issues such as the learning and storage of linguistic meaning are dealt with. Recent research within the field of semantics and lexicology is discussed, and used to form a basis for the formulation of the student s own research questions. An autonomous scholarly study is carried out, from either a synchronic or diachronic perspective, with an emphasis placed on language use, language learning, or the system of language.
