Description: English Abstract Nouns As Conceptual Shells : From Corpus to Cognition, Hardcover by Schmid, Hans-Jorg, ISBN 3110167670, ISBN-13 9783110167672, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Schmid's study is concerned with a class of abstract nouns and their linguistic environments. Among the most typical and frequent examples are the words case, chance, fact, idea, news, point, problem, position, reason, report, situation, thing , words called "shell nouns" that Schmid arranges into the following classes: factual ( fact, thing ), linguistic ( news, message ), mental ( idea, notion ), modal ( possibility, permission ), eventive ( act, attempt ), and circumstantial ( situation, context ). These nouns are classified as "shell" not because they are immutably shell-like but because they have the potential for being used as conceptual shells for complex, proposition-like pieces of information. In this dissertation-like study, Schmid attempts to lend some specificity to one of the vaguer classes of English words by exploring the uses and functions of some 670 examples.
