This volume discusses methodological issues in conducting elicitation on semantic topics in a fieldwork situation. In twelve chapters discussing 11 language families from four continents, authors draw on their own fieldwork experience, pairing explicit methodological proposals with concrete examples of their use in the field. Several chapters cover issues specific to semantic topics such as modality, comparison, tense and aspect, and definiteness, while others focus on elicitation techniques more generally, addressing methodological issues such as the creation of elicitation plans, the choice of language in which to conduct elicitation, and the status of translation tasks. Together, the chapters of this volume demonstrate that elicitation on semantic topics, when conducted following sound methodologies, can and does produce reliable results. Given the high number of languages currently classified as endangered, conducting one-on-one fieldwork with native speaker consultants is critical for gathering new empirical findings that bear on linguistic theory.

An inclusive survey of linguistic semantics, written by prominent experts in the fieldThe Wiley Blackwell Companion to Semantics provides a thorough investigation of issues and phenomena central to the development of modern semantics and its interfaces. Presenting in-depth chapters written by leading experts in the field, this book investigates competing analyses and approaches, examines their conceptual foundations, and evaluates them as applied to various languages. This authoritative collection enables scholars and students of semantics—as well as those from associated areas of linguistics such as syntacticians—to broaden and deepen their knowledge of the subject and the developments in the field.Presenting over 100 case studies, the collection of chapters within this Companion is organized in alphabetical order for ease of reference. This key reference work: Provides detailed coverage of the major developments in linguistic semantics over the past several decadesDemonstrates how research can identify differences and similarities in a variety of languagesPresents studies that encompass well-delimited empirical areas and play important roles in theoretical debatesIdentifies topics via famous example sentencesThe Wiley Blackwell Companion to Semantics is a valuable reference work for scholars, researchers, academics, and students in linguistics and related areas.This work is also available as an online resource at www.companiontosemantics.com
