What is "semantic typology"?
Semantic typology is the study of how different languages express meaning and categorize concepts. This field examines the ways languages represent ideas, such as time, space, emotions, and relationships, and how these representations can vary across cultures. Semantic typologists analyze features like lexical categories, metaphor usage, and the meanings of specific words to identify patterns and differences among languages. This research helps to understand how language reflects cultural perspectives and influences thought, contributing to insights about the diversity of human cognition and communication.
