Full Description
Word roots with different structures may hold some semantic relation with each other. This is due to the presence of similar molecular constituents in root structures, which stand for either their structural properties or their functional characteristics. This book shows that many of these molecular constituents achieve similar roles even in different language families. The main mission of this book is thus to convey the message that conceptualizing the semantic relevance between the roots with some structural similarity may yield some insight regarding the nature of these roots and their constituents. Therefore, as far as it concerns the audience, the book will appeal to anyone engaged with linguistics, anthropological and cultural studies, as well as language pedagogy.
